If you can’t recognize many locations, it may be because a large portion of Boston Blue was also filmed in Ontario, Canada.
A spin-off of Blue Bloods, the series follows Danny Reagan after he relocates to Boston to join the city’s police department.
The series blends scenes shot at iconic Boston landmarks with Ontario locations, taking advantage of lower production costs, generous tax incentives, and Toronto’s suburbs that convincingly double as Boston neighborhoods.
Here is our spoiler-free guide to the most interesting filming locations of Boston Blue. You'll find the locations in order of first appearance.
