In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Hudson shared his admiration for Selleck’s work and his eagerness to collaborate with him on screen. The chemistry between the two actors could potentially bring a new dynamic to the already successful Blue Bloods universe.
After the conclusion of Blue Bloods in December 2024, fans were thrilled to learn about the continuation of the story with Boston Blue.

As Boston Blue progresses, viewers can expect to see more of Reverend Peters and his impact on the community. Hudson emphasized the complexities of serving the community and ensuring justice is served in the right way, balancing the letter of the law with the spirit of the law.
The actor, who is also an executive producer on BET’s The Family Business, expressed his appreciation for the focus on family dynamics in both Blue Bloods and Boston Blue. He emphasized the importance of family in his own life and the universal themes of connection and understanding that resonate with audiences.
While Boston Blue shares similarities with its predecessor, Hudson encouraged viewers to see the spinoff as a unique entity with its own stories to tell. He emphasized the power of television to create empathy and understanding among viewers, ultimately leading to positive change.
Blue Bloods can be streamed on Paramount+, while Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET. Fans can also look forward to the return of The Family Business on BET on October 23.
