When Blue Bloods came to an end after many years, the millions of people who loved CBS's police procedural show were very disappointed. On the bright side, the people who were sad to see that show end could hold on to the fact that Blue Bloods was receiving a spin-off. Since that news surfaced, viewers wanted to learn everything there was to know about the spin-off, which is titled Boston Blue.
Now that Boston Blue has started, some viewers may have expected there to no longer be big news about the series that has been a hit so far. However, even a show that has been around for years can excite fans with news, like when Chicago Med cast the former star of a beloved HBO series. Similarly, Boston Blue fans should be excited that it has been revealed that show has recently cast a former Marvel superhero movie star.
