Last February, NBC announced the end of Blacklist, the chain’s flagship detective series hosted by James Spader, at the end of its 10th season. “After ten years, hundreds of cases and over 200 episodes in the making, we are honored to come to the conclusion of the series.This is what showrunner John Eisendrath said in a press release at the time.
It must be said that the detective series has undergone many changes in recent years. Following Ryan Eggold’s departure in Season 5, it was Megan Boone who portrayed Elizabeth “Liz” Keene, the series’ heroine, who announced her departure at the end of Season 8.
At the same time, John Bokenkamp, the creator of Blacklist, also decided to leave the detective series to start new adventures.
If no explanation was given to justify the end of The Blacklist, everything suggests that it is actually a joint decision of the channel, the producer and James Spader, who certainly considered that ten seasons was quite a long time for the series.
When will the last series be aired?
While Season 10 is currently airing across the Atlantic, NBC recently revealed that the series will be undergoing some changes for its final episodes. From June 1, The Blacklist, which is normally offered on Sunday evenings, will now be broadcast every Thursday.
The channel took the opportunity to reveal the ultimate adventure of Raymond “Red” Reddington. Thus, the final two-hour episode will be broadcast on July 13 in the United States, and it will be possible to answer all the unanswered questions, especially about the real identity of Reddy.
Many fans really suspect that it is Katarina Rostova, Liz’s biological mother, who underwent face-altering surgery.
However, the French public will have to wait until the final episodes of Blacklist are discovered. Série Club and TF1, which offer detective series in the first and second broadcast windows, have not yet announced a date for season 9. As for the first 8 seasons, they are already available on Netflix.
