Fans of NBC’ primetime drama The Blacklist are no longer in limbo.
The network announced that the show will return for a 10th season as part of the 2022/23 Primetime season.
Currently airing Friday’s at 8 pm, the series stars James Spader, as Raymond “Red” Reddington, aka The Concierge of Crime. Also starring in the show’s ninth season are Diego Klattenhoff, Amir Arison, Hisham Tawfiq, Laura Sohn and Harry Lennix.
The show drew controversy last year by killing off its co-lead, Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) after nine years. Season 9 sees Elizabeth’s task force two years on from her death coming back together when a “common purpose compels them to renew their original mission: to take down dangerous, vicious and eccentric Blacklisters. In the process, they begin to uncover lethal adversaries, unimaginable conspiracies and surprising betrayals that will threaten alliances and spur vengeance for the past, led by the most devious criminal of them all – Raymond Reddington.”
The Blacklist is executive produced by John Eisendrath, Jon Bokenkamp, John Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment, James Spader, Lukas Reiter, Laura A. Benson, Daniel Cerone, Sean Hennen, Allison Glock-Cooper and T Cooper.
The long-running series, which TVPulse Magazine (then ScreenSpy) praised in 2013 as “The jewel in the Crown of NBC’s Fall schedule” is a production of Davis Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television Studios and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
