Exclusive Tease: Will Baez Relocate to Boston?
Brandon Sonnier, one of the show’s creators, directly answered the question when asked if Marisa Ramirez will become a series regular in Season 2. “That is a distinct possibility, yes,” Sonnier revealed exclusively to TV Insider. His answer sparked immediate speculation about Baez making the permanent jump from New York to Boston. Co-creator Brandon Margolis added whimsically, “Crazier things have happened,” suggesting the storyline is firmly on the table.
The news comes just hours before Season 1 wraps on CBS. Long-distance relationships have been central to the narrative this season, with multiple episodes depicting Baez’s reluctance to leave her New York roots. A permanent Boston relocation would resolve that tension entirely.

Long-Distance Love: The Season 1 Storyline
Danny Reagan (played by Donnie Wahlberg) surprised everyone by leaving the NYPD and joining the Boston Police Department. His sudden departure thrown his romance with Detective Maria Baez into chaos. The detectives spent years working together in New York, and after finally getting together, distance immediately threatened their relationship. Throughout the season, Baez has expressed her deep connection to her home city and her professional life there.
Each episode depicting their phone calls, video chats, and painful separations showed viewers the toll of 1970 miles between them. For Baez to join Danny in Boston, she’d need to leave the NYPD and the Reagan family legacy that’s defined her career. That stakes-heavy setup made the possibility real.
What Season 2 Could Bring
| Scenario | Details |
| Series Regular Baez | Full-time cast member status for Season 2 |
| Baez in Boston | Joins Boston Police, new detective partnerships |
| Guest Appearances | Periodic visits from New York for major storylines |
| Return to NYPD | Baez stays in New York, relationship struggles continue |
The creators have already teased multiple major additions for Season 2. Pop Reagan will visit Boston, actor Holly Robinson Peete joins as Mae’s sister Jill, and there’s even a non-zero chance that Jamie, Eddie, and their newborn could appear. Adding Baez as a full-time regular would be the ultimate Season 2 surprise.
“That is a distinct possibility, yes,” Sonnier said about Baez moving to Boston full-time, while a chuckling Margolis added, “Crazier things have happened.”

The Silver Family Expands
Meanwhile, Danny continues building his new life in Boston. He’s been paired with Detective Lena Silver (played by Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. The Silver family dynamics have become central to the show, introducing viewers to Boston District Attorney Mae Silver, Superintendent Sarah Silver, rookie cop Jonah Silver, and Reverend Edwin Peters. Adding Baez to this Boston ecosystem could shake up future storylines significantly.
Danny also hopes to reconnect with his younger son Sean, who’s building a career in Boston. Season 1 established that Danny turned in his NYPD badge permanently and committed to the Boston Police Department. The move wasn’t temporary, which raises the stakes for Baez even higher.
Will the Boston Blue Creators Commit to Baez’s Move?
While the creators haven’t confirmed Baez will definitely relocate, their playful teasing suggests strong interest. The phrase “distinct possibility” in Hollywood often means executives are actively exploring the storyline. Without a confirmed move next season, Danny and Baez’s romance remains in limbo, which works perfectly for creating dramatic tension heading into Season 2. The question “Will Baez move to Boston?” could become the driving question for the entire opening arc of the new season, directly answering what viewers most want to know about their favorite couple.
