CBS confirmed what everyone already suspected: both Boston Blue and Sheriff Country will return with second seasons. Given both series have been winning their time periods and increased CBS’s viewership over their 2024 time slot occupants, the official announcement didn’t come as a surprise.
Sheriff Country has been averaging 7.6 million viewers, while Boston Blue has averaged 8 million. The network reports it’s won the primetime Friday ratings battle since the series premiered in mid-October 2025.
“Two new shows on Friday night have become instant hits, with audiences quickly embracing Boston Blue and Sheriff Country across broadcast and streaming,” stated Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “These early renewals reflect the power of character-driven storytelling, compelling narratives, and the exceptional talent on both sides of the camera that make these series truly stand out.”
The Fire Country spinoff stars Morena Baccarin, Matt Lauria, W. Earl Brown, Christopher Gorman, and Michele Weaver. Season one airs on Fridays at 8pm, leading into Fire Country at 9pm ET/PT. Boston Blue has Donnie Wahlberg reprising his Blue Bloods role as Danny Reagan alongside Sonequa Martin-Green, Gloria Reuben, and Maggie Lawson. Marcus Scribner, Mika Amonsen, and Ernie Hudson also star.
Boston Blue Synopsis:
In this new series, Reagan takes a position with the Boston Police Department and is paired with Detective Lena Silver (Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. The Silver family is comprised of Boston District Attorney Mae Silver (Reuben), Boston PD Detective Lena Silver, Police Superintendent Sarah Silver (Lawson), rookie cop Jonah Silver (Scribner) and renowned Baptist pastor Reverend Edwin Peters (Hudson). As Reagan settles into his new city, he also hopes to reconnect with his younger son, Sean (Amonsen), who is beginning his own career in Boston.
Sheriff Country Description:
Sheriff Country stars Morena Baccarin as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire’s division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr). She investigates criminal activity while she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater, contending with her ex-con father, Wes (Brown), who is an off-the-grid marijuana grower, and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter.
