Maggie Lawson has been cast as a series regular in “Boston Blue,” CBS‘ upcoming spinoff of “Blue Bloods.”
She will play Boston Police Department superintendent Sarah Silver, who is described as “well aware of the tightrope she can walk sometimes between her job and her family.”
“Boston Blue” stars Donnie Wahlberg in a reprisal of his “Blue Bloods” role, officer Danny Reagan. The series follows Danny after he takes a role with Boston PD, where he is partnered with detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.
This won’t be Lawson’s first time playing a cop: she is best known for starring as Juliet O’Hara in “Psych,” which ran on the USA network for eight seasons from 2006 to 2014, as well “Psych: The Movie” (2017), “Psych 2: Lassie Come Home” (2020) and “Psych 3: This Is Gus (2021).” In 2024, she starred in the Hallmark Christmas movie “Sugarplummed,” and also recently reunited with “Psych” star Corbin Bernsen in an indie comedy pilot called “Woodstockers.” Her other credits include a lead role in the 2020 Fox sitcom “Outmatched” and recurring roles in Seasons 2 and 3 of Netflix’s “The Santa Clarita Diet,” Season 3 of Fox’s “Lethal Weapon,” Seasons 2 and 3 of Netflix’s “The Ranch” and Season 12 of CBS’ “Two and a Half Men.”
Lawson is repped by Gersh and Principal Entertainment.
“Boston Blue” is executive produced by showrunners Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis as well as Jerry Bruckheimer, KristieAnne Reed and Wahlberg. CBS Studios produces the series in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television, and the series will be distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
