Will Estes Joins Donnie Wahlberg in Boston Blue Debut for Season 2 Blue Bloods Reunion
The upcoming second season of “Boston Blue,” a spin-off of the longstanding crime drama “Blue Bloods,” is poised to bring back familiar faces from the original series. Notably, Will Estes, who portrayed Jamie Reagan on “Blue Bloods,” will reprise his role in an integral episode of the new series. This development has generated significant anticipation among fans, as it marks a reunion within the Reagan family, continuing a legacy that has captivated viewers for years.
Initial sightings of Estes on set stirred speculation as to whether he would appear as a guest star or simply visit his former co-star Donnie Wahlberg, who plays Danny Reagan. However, confirmation has arrived that Estes will indeed contribute to the unfolding narrative in “Boston Blue”. While specific details regarding the storyline remain undisclosed, his involvement signals a deeper exploration of the Reagan family dynamics in the spin-off.
Estes’ appearance will make him the fourth Reagan family member featured on the series, following performances by Bridget Moynahan as Erin Reagan and special guest appearances by Len Cariou as Henry Reagan and Will Hochman’s Joe Hill in the first season. Additionally, Marisa Ramirez’s character, Maria Baez, returns to continue her story arc alongside Wahlberg’s Danny, enriching the intricacies of familial bonds amidst the backdrop of law enforcement.
In “Boston Blue,” Jamie Reagan was not previously featured but his presence was felt through significant updates, including a revelation that he and his wife Eddie are expecting their first child. This storyline addition adds layers to the character, interweaving family life with the professional challenges faced by those in law enforcement.
The spin-off, which debuted to a robust audience in October 2025, centers on Danny Reagan and his son Sean as they navigate new challenges within a different law enforcement family in Boston. Featuring a cast that includes Sonequa Martin-Green and Ernie Hudson, “Boston Blue” seeks to maintain the essence of its predecessor while forging its own identity.
“Boston Blue” Season 2 is set to premiere on October 9, 2026, at 10 p.m. on CBS, with episodes available for streaming on Paramount+ the following day. The return of Estes is a testament to the continuing legacy of “Blue Bloods” and promises to engage both new viewers and longtime fans alike.
