NBC has officially announced on January 26th 2020 that it has renewed The Blacklist for season 9. The new season is expected to be available in Fall 2021.
The previous season 8 was first aired on November 13, 2020.
The Blacklist is a crime thriller series featuring Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader). Red, a former Navy officer, become an most-wanted criminal who escaped the FBI for decades. One day, Red voluntarily surrenders to the FBI, sharing a list of the most dangerous criminals, and offering his help to arrest these criminals in exchange for immunity. However, he insists on working exclusively with a rookie FBI profiler by the name of Elizabeth Keen. James Spader's performance as a lead actor is impressive as he manages to give his character, Red, an air of mystery and charm that is one of the attractions of The Blacklist. A critic stated that "James Spader is riveting as a criminal-turned-informant, and his presence goes a long way toward making this twisty but occasionally implausible crime procedural compelling."
