NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- The Walking Dead and Star Trek: Discovery alum Sonequa Martin-Green says she wanted to star in CBS' Boston Blue because it shows her police detective Lena Silver spending time with her loved ones, not just solving cases.
The Blue Bloods spin-off sees Lena partnered up with Donnie Wahlberg's former New York Police Detective Danny Reagan.
It will have its mid-season finale on Friday and resume in February.
"There were many things that pulled me into this. I really appreciate what is at the heart of this show, which is what was also at the heart of Blue Bloods," Martin-Green, 40, said during a recent panel discussion in Manhattan.
"Faith, family and tradition. It's what was always at the center of Blue Bloods and why I believe it was such a massive success, why it forged its own place in TV history," she said.
