Two major characters’ fates were among the biggest talking points following the Boston Blue Season 1 finale. Following the episode’s release, executive producers Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier discussed what those storylines could mean moving into Season 2.
Boston Blue bosses talk Maria and Brian’s Season 2 fates
The Season 1 finale of Boston Blue ended with major uncertainty surrounding both Maria Baez’s future with Danny Reagan and the shocking crash involving Detective Brian Rodgers. Following the episode, co-creators and showrunners Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier discussed the finale’s biggest moments. They also teased how those developments will carry into Season 2.
A major focus of the finale involved the return of Marisa Ramirez as Maria Baez. This was prompted by Lena’s shooting, which left her hospitalized with serious injuries. Maria and Danny confronted the strain caused by his move to Boston. The episode strongly hints that the pair may finally move forward together.
Speaking to TV Insider, Sonnier explained that Maria’s transition to Boston will take time because of the responsibilities she still has in New York. “She will come to Boston, but we do have to work through the realities of she has a whole life in New York that she sort of needs to unwind from,” Sonnier said.
The executive producer added that Maria’s family obligations in New York, particularly those involving her daughter and mother, still need attention before she can permanently relocate to Boston with Danny. Sonnier also confirmed that the character will continue appearing in the series moving forward. “They will make good on their promise of committing to her coming to Boston. Danny’s going to be looking for that bigger place,” he said.
The finale’s closing scene then shifted attention toward Brian Rodgers. Another vehicle slammed into his car and forced it into the water below. The episode ended before revealing whether Brian survived the crash. When TV Line directly asked whether viewers had just watched Brian die, Sonnier declined to reveal the answer. “It’s a cliffhanger, man! We don’t want to spoil hanging off of the cliff now, do we?” he said.
However, both producers confirmed that Brian’s fate has already been decided internally. “Oh, we definitely know,” Sonnier explained, while Margolis added, “There is an answer.” Sonnier further stated that “this event does change things dramatically for Lena and the rest of the family, and does push us forward into next season.”
Margolis also confirmed that the writers’ room for Season 2 is already active. “We went right into it,” he said. “So we’ve been in there, discussing the fallout.”
