What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, The Blacklist stars James Spader, Megan Boone, Diego Kattenhoff, Ryan Eggold, Harry Lennix, Amir Arison, Mozhan Marnò, and Hisham Tawfiq. The crime drama centers on one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, Raymond “Red” Reddington (Spader). He offers to help the authorities, if rookie agent Elizabeth Keen (Boone) partners with him. In season five, Red is in the process of rebuilding his criminal empire with her at his side. Although she’s still working for the Feds, Liz finds the idea of indulging her criminal side rather tempting.

The fifth season of The Blacklist averaged a 0.93 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.66 million total viewers. Compared to season four, that is down by 6% and up by 7%, respectively. Find out how The Blacklist stacks up against the other NBC TV shows.

Telly’s Take
Once upon a time, The Blacklist was a breakout drama on the Peacock Network. Since then, the ratings have really dropped, but it was renewed for a fifth installment. Meanwhile, its spin-off, The Blacklist: Redemption was cancelled after just one season. The ratings have remained pretty steady for this show so I believe The Blacklist will be renewed for season six. I’ll keep a hungry eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free updates on any cancellation and renewal news, regarding The Blacklist.

Awesome show! Please keep it on TV!
Please renew!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please!!! Red is Red! Red can not be Katarina! The Blacklist needs to be renewed!!!!
Hopefully the show Blacklist will not be cancelled. It is the best series other than Longmire that I have ever watched
I think the stories this season are not as good as in prior seasons, but it’s still a good watch. Love James Spader and I still think the show is intelligently written and worth another season
Please do not cancel this series! I look forward to watching it every week! The actors are great. James Spade is the best ever!
I love this show, and all the actors in it.I look forward to watching it every week. There are so many shows on TV that do not have a good story line or actors, and they just keep plugging along
I hear there is going to be a cliffhanger ending , please renew for one last season so we can see the conclusion.
Please. Renew the blacklist. It is by far the best show on TV
Please don’t cancel the blacklist. I love the show and i will love it. Please go for another 5 seasons.
I’d like to see another season, but only if Tom isn’t dead. Once they pull long standing characters off the show, it changes everything. Usually not for the better…
Do Not Cancel Blacklist!!
Thank You!!
DEFINITELY RENEW!!!!!! LEAVE IT ALONE!!! LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!
Blacklist is my favorite show ever! Please renew!!!
DO NOT CANCEL SUCH A GREAT SHOW PLZ!!
I absolutely love the blacklist! It would be such a shame for it to be over… esp. The way season 5 ended…. i really hope to see another season come out!
I love the black list, please keep it going, you made me cry killing Tom off that wasn’t good, poor Liz so let’s see what’s next..
