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.

Best show ever. So cool and collected while killing. It’s like a holiday when this show day comes. I make a cake and have ice cream. Don’t you dare cancel it. The Liz thing is getting old though. The new sister twist is okay. Now the bag. don’t you dare cancel it.
Please DO NOT cancel The Blacklist. I’d be Devistated!! It’s one of the most intellectually stimulating shows on TV today! It’s probably the only show I make sure to watch as it’s being broadcasted.
Do not cancel it!
please do not cancel Blacklist. I just found it and don’t want to lose James Spader in this great show.
Do not cancel Blacklist!!!
I would absolutely be devastated if they cancelled the show at this point of the story. There are too many loose ends and unanswered questions to end it now. And hurrying up and answering those questions in a couple of episodes will not please the viewers. I love this show and look forward to watching it every week.
Why do you always cancel the best shows like the blacklist and even blind spot ???
Excellent!!! Love it!!!

also James Spader . One of the brightest minds in television today . he Completes the Reymond Reddington character ♥
This is one of the best shows, it would be criminal to cancel it! James Spader is his usual brilliant self.

Please continue this series as it is very entertaining, and enjoyable to watch.
