Sonequa Martin-Green (Captain Michael Burnham from Star Trek Discovery)
now starring in new CBS series "Boston Blue" which debuts October 2025.

Details on the series (and a video of Sonequa talking about it)  behind the spoiler tag.
(spoiler tag used simply because this info isn't relevant to Star Trek.)

Spoiler

Info gleaned from EW and Deadline (disclaimer that some of the details have changed several times as the announcements have rolled out.).

"Boston Blue" is a spinoff of "Blue Bloods".
Bluebloods is a cancelled 14-season series about
an Irish-American family of law enforcement professionals
that was set in New York.

Boston Blue is (obviously) set in Boston.

Boston Blue: Sonequa Martin-Green plays Police Detective Lena Silver. 
(The character name was preliminarily announced as "Lena Peters", but now we know it's actually "Lena Silver".)
Lena Silver is from
a family lineage of Black law enforcement professionals in Boston.

In this Boston Blue series, it's *her* family that is featured.

Gloria Reuben is cast as Lena's mother, Mae Silver, Boston's District Attorney and the head of a blended family of law enforcement professionals. Mae is the widow of Judge Ben Silver who was murdered on the courthouse steps.  Mae endeavors to put family ahead of work whenever possible.

Maggie Lawson will play Sarah Silver, the strong-willed and decisive Superintendent of the Boston Police Department. Sarah is the stepdaughter of Mae and the daughter of deceased Judge Ben Silver.
Sarah is the stepsister of Sonequa's character Lena.

Marcus Scribner will play Jonah Silver, a rookie cop, son of Mae, brother of Lena.

Ernie Hudson is cast as a Baptist pastor and the patriarch of the family, father to Gloria Rueben's character Mae, and grandfather to Sonequa Martin-Green's character Lena. (His character name is apparently "Reverend Peters" but this character name is listed differently in various articles.)

Donnie Wahlberg plays his same "Blue Bloods" character Danny Reagan in the new series "Boston Blue", but his character has moved from New York to Boston. 
Walberg's Danny and Sonequa's Lena are police partners to each other.
Walhberg is also the executive producer of the Boston Blue series.

Mika Amonsen will play Danny Reagan's son, police patrolman Sean Reagan. (This is a recast of the same character from the original Blue Bloods series.)

I'm not interested in the police procedural aspect, but it's cool that Gloria Rueben will play her mother.

Never been a Trekkie by any means, but that is pretty cool to see nonetheless. Of course, the end of the article has a soap 'fact' that's wildly inaccurate.
