Will Estes has officially revived his Blue Bloods character, Jamie Reagan, on Boston Blue — but was it a one-off?
Warning: Spoilers below from season 2, episode 5, of Boston Blue.
“I’m game. I would love it. It was a great experience,” Estes, 48, exclusively tells Us about whether he’d return to the Blue Bloods spinoff after his Friday, November 6, cameo. “It was so fun. If they want to write for me, I’ll be there.”
The actor says that it’s all up to Boston Blue creators Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier, joking to Us, “I’m going to give you the phone number of both the Brandons when we get off, and you can call them six times a day.”
During Estes’ appearance on the CBS series, his character, Jamie, reunited with his brother, Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg), while in Boston for a conference. (Estes starred alongside Wahlberg, 57, on Blue Bloods for 14 seasons before the series ended in 2024. Wahlberg has helmed Boston Blue since 2025.)
Jamie had been recently promoted to lieutenant, while Danny made sergeant after leaving New York City and going to work for the Boston Police Department alongside his son Sean (Mika Amonsen).
Tensions were high when the Reagan siblings got back together, with Jamie eventually telling his big brother that he felt abandoned when Danny left New York at the same time he and wife Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray) welcomed their first baby.
“You were always there whether I wanted you to be or not and then the second I wanted to ask you how to be a dad. What to do when Joey wouldn’t sleep or when Eddie didn’t want me to go back on the street. You weren’t there,” Jamie confessed.
Danny admitted, “I couldn’t. I had to be here. Sean needed me,” which Jamie said he understood, bringing them both closure for the first time in the relationship.
“I’m always here for you, even from Boston,” Danny told his baby brother, joking he can always call him.
While Jamie and Danny ended the episode on good terms, Estes doesn’t have another cameo lined up just yet — but he is open to one, especially if it’s alongside his TV wife.
“They don’t let me in the writers’ rooms, so I don’t — I’m never a part of those conversations,” Estes tells Us, adding that he thinks a joint appearance with Ray, 45, could “100 percent” happen down the line.
Estes also hinted that Jamie and Eddie’s story might not be done for good. In fact, he teased that their rumored spinoff might still be in the works.
“What do I say that promotes the idea?” Estes says with a smirk. “We have talked about it, but not in a capacity that I can give you an air date on. So, no at this time.”
The actor tells Us that fans will have to wait to see what transpires regarding a potential Jamie and Eddie TV series, revealing that the Blue Bloods cast might also be open to a movie reunion.
Deal of the Day
“Blue Bloods the movie! Yeah, we’ve been talking about Blue Bloods the movie for a while,” Estes reveals. “So listen, I’m ready. I’m here. I can throw ideas at the wall and see what sticks too.”
He adds, “That was, I think, Donnie said that first. He was like, ‘Blue Bloods the movie.’ So listen, I’m game.”
Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET.
