blue bloods usweekly‘s Marcus Scribner explained why he wasn’t necessarily satisfied with the season 1 finale.
“I don’t wish to say if it’s satisfying or a cliffhanger — but I used to be not satisfied because I need more,” Scribner, 26, quipped while speaking exclusively to Us Weekly. “I won’t say why, nevertheless it was a really interesting ending.”
Scribner noted the audience will learn “more about” his character, Jonah, before the season involves an end, adding, “We get some cool pairings, which is admittedly dope. We switch things up a bit bit and [have] some fun guest stars as well, which I do know a whole lot of persons are excited for.”
Despite the necessity for more, Scribner called the upcoming finale a “great” ending. “It just left me wanting more,” he concluded.
Before Boston Blue, Blue Bloods followed the lives of the Reagan family, lots of whom work for the NYPD under the leadership of NYC police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), was also central to the show, alongside Frank’s children: daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) and sons Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes).
The show aired from 2010 to 2024 before CBS announced a by-product. Wahlberg’s character is at the middle of the spinoff, which picks up as the previous NYPD officer takes on a position with the Boston Police Department. He’s then paired with detective Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a outstanding law enforcement family.
“I hadn’t watched Blue Bloods prior to joining Boston Blue, but I heard a ton about it from my relatives. It’s been a cultural phenomenon for years and years. I — after all — had heard of the show, after which I began to dive into it,” Scribner told Us. “Then attending to know Donnie even further — and seeing how different he’s from Danny Reagan — is crazy.”
He continued: “Taking a few of those characteristics from Danny Reagan, I used to be attempting to infuse them into my character, Jonah Silver, who’s a little bit of a hothead like Danny. He goes against the grain to do what he thinks is morally right, which has been very exciting.”
Joining the Blue Bloods universe — and introducing the Silver family — has allowed Scribner to push himself as an actor.
“It’s been very, very interesting. I recently rediscovered myself as an actor. I feel like for some time I used to be attempting to push myself to the side and do something different,” he told Us. “However it’s been very fun to ground myself on this universe.”
Scribner praised his Boston Blue costars for uplifting him, sharing, “Acting is so weird because it truly is a lot receiving. So being on the show and being around these amazing actors is so nice since you barely need to do any work. I’m just listening to them, and it really builds this sense in you and you simply get to reply.”
He concluded: “It’s a whole lot of fun. It’s definitely been difficult and funky attending to do a whole lot of physical stunts and all those things. I used to be involved in a automotive chase recently — an explosion — and all this crazy stuff. So it’s been really cool.”
Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET. Recent episodes stream the subsequent day on Paramount+.
