‘The Blacklist’ Renewed For Season 10
Red will be back for another outing as NBC announces they have renewed ‘The Blacklist‘ for Season 10… And, as I know it’s the first thing people will ask, no, Sky does not yet have a premiere date for Season 9 (more on that below.)
‘The Blacklist’ stars James Spader as criminal mastermind Raymond “Red” Reddington who works alongside the Reddington task force, a group designed to take down Red’s “Blacklist” – individuals so dangerous and devious that the US government is unaware of their very existence.
Now, if you’re not up to date with Season 8 of the show and want to avoid all spoilers, STOP READING…
Still here? Okay then… As you know, the season eight finale had a major cast change, with Megan Boone, who played Elizabeth Keen, leaving the series, being dramatically killed off in the last episode. The current ninth season picks up two years following the death of Elizabeth, and Raymond Reddington (James Spader) alongside the members of the FBI Task Force have disbanded – their lives now changed in unexpected ways and with Reddington’s whereabouts unknown.
Finding themselves each at a crossroads, 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’ also stars Diego Klattenhoff, Amir Arison, Hisham Tawfiq, Laura Sohn and Harry Lennix.
The current ninth season has continued to be a hit for NBC, having reached 22 million viewers across linear and digital platforms and is growing +200% from its live + same-day average. The show is also the fourth highest broadcast drama in bringing in an upscale audience.
Regarding the UK broadcast, although the show is produced by Sony Pictures Television Studios and Universal Television, Sony is the lead distributor internationally. That means, although it is an NBC show in the US, and NBCUniversal is a sister company of Sky (both owned by Comcast), Sky has to negotiate the international rights to the drama separately with Sony. That is why it hasn’t yet shown up in the UK. The likelihood is that it will, it’s just taking longer to get the contracts sorted.
‘The Blacklist‘ Season 9 does not yet have a UK premiere date, but if you want to keep track of this or any other shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
