As the new series BOSTON BLUE begins, and various iconic Boston landmarks are shown, an appropriate sing-along song blares: “The Boys Are Back” by Dropkick Murphys.

If the lyrics are to be believed, “the boys are back, and they’re lookin’ for trouble.” Well, Danny Reagan, played by Donnie Wahlberg, is definitely back, and while it’s uncertain if Danny ever actually looks for trouble, he regularly has a way of finding it.

Premiering Friday, Oct. 17 at 10 p.m. ET on CTV, CTV.ca and the CTV app, and streaming next day on Crave, BOSTON BLUE is a spinoff of the enduringly popular BLUE BLOODS, which occupied the same time slot on Friday nights on CTV for 14 seasons.

“We are incredibly excited about this show, and cannot wait to share it with the world,” Wahlberg said in a media conference. “We look forward to bringing faith, family, and tradition back to television on Friday nights at 10 p.m.”

Wahlberg is reprising his role as Danny Reagan from BLUE BLOODS, which was a family police drama set in New York. The twist in BOSTON BLUE is that Danny is presented with a compelling family reason to relocate to Beantown, even though he’s leaving behind the comfort of his widespread law-enforcement clan in the Big Apple.

The irony for Wahlberg personally is that he is famously from Boston, but he spent a decade and a half shooting BLUE BLOODS in New York.

“I was very comfortable in New York, I will say that – as a Bostonian, that's not an easy thing to say,” Wahlberg said with a chuckle. “Acting in the streets of New York, it became just a joy of mine every day on BLUE BLOODS. I can't tell you how much fun I had, no matter what neighbourhood, no matter what borough, I always had a great time. But you know, there is a fish-out-of-water element to this show, and for Danny, he is in a new place, he's used to doing things a certain way, and now he has people who push back on him, and say, ‘yeah, you can't do that,’ Generally he kind of gets his way, but now it's different. So I've indulged the differences.”

Wahlberg added, “in terms of working in Boston, we're filming in Toronto and Boston, and I can tell you, they're both a joy. But they're both taking some getting used to. I have never shot a series in Boston like this. I've never had to navigate all my relatives showing up, and people showing up … ”

Wahlberg then fell back into the hardcore Boston accent of his youth, and yelled, “Donnie, take a picture with me! Donnie, who’s your paaartnaaa?’ ”

The “partner” in question is Detective Lena Silver, played by Sonequa Martin-Green (STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, THE WALKING DEAD). Lena is part of a prominent Boston law-enforcement family that rivals the Reagans in terms of sheer numbers.

"I was very familiar with the M5 when I was shooting walkers (on THE WALKING DEAD), and (on STAR TREK: DISCOVERY) my gun was a phaser, and it could be on stun or kill, but I have never dealt with a Glock," said Martin-Green, referring to the weaponry in BOSTON BLUE. "I have definitely had to get accustomed to being on the ground, pun intended, and be this sort of real person. Not like Captain Michael Burnham (Martin-Green's character on STAR TREK: DISCOVERY) is not a real person, in a sense, but it is different. Like Donnie was just saying, I've been embracing the differences, not having to have such a rigid spine, if you will, and not having to save the actual universe all the time."

One refreshing element of the relationship between Danny Reagan and Lena Silver is that while they obviously have differences – which are played up for comic effect – they don’t fall into the cop-show cliché of constant bickering. It doesn’t take Danny and Lena long to recognize each other’s value, as both people and professionals.

"That's one of the things that sparked us both, me and Donnie, something that we both saw in the story, that there is this kindredness between the two," Martin-Green agreed. "They're from two very different places, but they're both from these law-enforcement families, and they both understand faith and family and tradition, they share in that. They sort of see themselves in each other. They understand each other. We thought that was so special, and something that we haven't really seen a lot in (police) partnerships, especially in budding partnerships in the beginning. We thought, what a lovely thing to have these people immediately connect, to have them immediately trust each other, and immediately respect each other."

In terms of overall respect, Wahlberg has high goals for BOSTON BLUE.

“I can tell you, from 14 years on BLUE BLOODS, I've met thousands of law-enforcement families, or people from law-enforcement families, who've said how much that show meant to them, and how much it means to see families like theirs represented on TV,” he said. “There are thousands of unique families all around our country, but having the chance to continue telling the story of a new law-enforcement family, it's a tremendous honour, and hopefully BOSTON BLUE lands with all of those law-enforcement families the same way BLUE BLOODS did.”

TORONTO (October 9, 2025) – Crave delivers heat that lingers long after the final buzzer blows when its new hockey romance series, HEATED RIVALRY, debuts with two episodes on Friday, Nov. 28. 

Created by award-winning Canadian writer-director-producer Jacob Tierney (LETTERKENNY, SHORESY) and based on the best-selling book series Game Changers by Rachel Reid, the six-episode, one-hour romantic drama tells the story of rival hockey players Shane and Ilya. What begins as a secret fling, ignites into an all-consuming blaze, and culminates in a powerful love story. The trailer for the series is available below.

“I wanted to bring Heated Rivalry to life and share its shameless, funny, epic, sexy, and deeply romantic journey with the world,” said Tierney. “When I first spoke to Rachel Reid, I told her I wanted to approach this book with the care and seriousness it deserves, because it truly does. Shane and Ilya deserve that. And so does the queer community, a love story complete with the kind of happy ending gay people almost never get in media." 

The first two episodes drop on Friday, Nov. 28, followed by one new episode on subsequent Fridays until the finale on Dec. 26. 

In HEATED RIVALRY, Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) are two of the biggest stars in Major League Hockey, bound by ambition, rivalry, and a magnetic pull neither of them fully understands. What begins as a secret fling between two fresh-faced rookies evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial, and self-discovery. Over the next eight years, the pair chase glory on the ice while struggling to navigate their feelings off it. Torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore, Shane and Ilya must decide if there is room in their fiercely competitive world for something as fragile and as powerful as real love. 

Williams and Storrie are joined onscreen by an ensemble cast that includes François Arnaud as Scott Hunter, Robbie G.K. as Kip Grady, Christina Chang and Dylan Walsh as Yuna and David Hollander, Sophie Nélisse as Rose Landry, and Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova as Svetlana. 

Rachel Reid’s Game Changers is a six-book series from Harlequin, and USA Today best-seller that has earned critical recognition from multiple outlets including The Globe and Mail and The Washington Post. The series has also achieved consistent Top 15 rankings in the Gay Romance category on Amazon, supported by a devoted fan following and strong critical acclaim. 

HEATED RIVALRY is produced by Accent Aigu Entertainment in association with Bell Media’s Crave. Jacob Tierney is writer, director, producer, and executive producer. Brendan Brady is producer and executive producer. Lori Fischburg is producer, and Rachel Reid is consulting producer. For Bell Media, Alison Korogyi is Senior Production Executive, Original Programming; Sarah Fowlie is Head of Production, Original Programming; Adam Feigen is Development Executive, Scripted Original Programming Rachel Goldstein-Couto is Head of Development, Original Programming; Carlyn Klebuc is General Manager, Original Programming; and Justin Stockman is Vice President, Content Development &amp; Programming. 

The series is distributed internationally by Sphere Abacus.

TORONTO (October 7, 2025) – Crave announced today that its original, Canadian Screen Award-nominated comedy series, THE OFFICE MOVERS, returns for a second season, on Friday, Nov. 7 with all six episodes available at launch. Created by and starring Brampton-born brothers Jermaine “Jae” and Trevaunn “Trey” Richards as Everett and Eric Saunders, the new season filmed and set in the Toronto area, features the brothers embroiled in bond-testing schemes, shady insurance scams, bogus grants, and rivalries with cutthroat family competitors.

Shazam moving company is still in business (suprisingly...!) Picking up where Season 1 left off, Season 2 finds Everett and his team hustling to compete with Zenithon Logistics, the corporate giant determined to crush every small-time moving business in the city. But after overpaying for a new warehouse (complete with a new, oddball landlord), Everett must turn to a series of desperate, money-making schemes in order to stay afloat. He drags Ricky (Lucas Lopez) into an explosive insurance scam, pressures Carla (Heather Gallant) to stretch the truth on a DEI grant application, and bankrolls Cousin Cloudy’s (Andy Agyepong-Ntra aka WatswithAndy) half-baked attempt to convert their basement into a short-term rental unit. As Everett’s plans unravel, his brother Eric begins to question his loyalty – and whether Zenithon might offer a smoother ride.

The returning cast dusting off their dollies and stretching their injured backs for another round of workplace chaos are: Gallant as Carla Morris; Lopez as Ricky; Marina Nedic as Trisha Roosevelt; Hassan Phills as Hassan Ahmed; Agyepong-Ntra (WatswithAndy) as Cloudy; Michael Charles as Marcus Adeyimi; Solomom Kehinde as Michael; and Baldeep Sehmbi as Prince.

Joining the crew this season are Danny Martinello as Shazam’s newest hire Doug; Gervail Sean Lemo as Shamez; Shazam’s new landlord; ZlamDunk as Zlad, the bad boy son of Zenithon’s CEO; and Marlon Palmer as Carla’s love interest Chrisss.

Also announced today, is the the 30-min holiday special, PROJECTED TO HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS, premiering Friday, Dec. 19. In this special, Everett (Jae) is determined to prove his holiday spirit to the crew. But he never thought volunteering at a church would lead to putting out literal fires, scoping out sketchy warehouses, and gifting families in need a bunch of R-rated toys.

THE OFFICE MOVERS is produced by Counterfeit Pictures and Random Order Studios in association with Crave. The series is created by brothers Jermaine and Trevaunn Richards, who also serve as executive producers through their creative studio, Random Order Studios, along with Clara Altimas and Counterfeit’s Dan Bennett, Shane Corkery, and Anton Leo. Sebastian Cluer and Clara Altimas serve as directors. Chantal Kemp and Counterfeit's Chris Kelley are producers.
