Will there be another season of The Blacklist? Recently, NBC chief Jennifer Salke discussed the future of the TV series, Deadline reports.
The thriller drama revolves around one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader). The cast also includes Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Ryan Eggold, Hisham Tawfiq, Amir Arison, and Mozhan Marno. Last month, NBC debuted a spin-off series called The Blacklist: Redemption.
Season four of The Blacklist is on hiatus until April 20th and ratings have been down for the show. Season four has been earning an average rating of 1.06 in the 18-49 demo and 5.471 million viewers. For comparison, season three averaged a 1.42 rating in the 18-49 demo with a total of 6.83 million viewers.
During a recent conference, Salke said the numbers are low but the show is a big performer overseas:
[The Blacklist] very profitable for Sony and an important show for us. Even though the linear rating is nothing to write home about, we define it differently and look at how it performs over a few days. It’s huge overseas.”
The creators of The Blacklist will pitch a new season to NBC next week.
What do you think? Do you watch The Blacklist? Should NBC renew the series?
Please Bring Blacklist back ,to me it’s the best written show for TV and deserves to be on .
It’s a great show. Been watching every season and look forward to a fifth.
James Spader is superb and the show is always entertaining and engaging. Absolutely, bring it back!!

Superb scripts, excellent actors brilliant plot twists and turns. Always look forward to the next episode. A must keep, there’s plenty of mileage yet in Old “Red” the slimy dog
Yes please keep the show on it’s the best. I don’t like blacklist redemption. It’s not near as good. James Spader is the best.
I agree, Joyce. I have tried watching Blacklist Redemption, but it is nothing compared to the original Blacklist. James Spader makes all the difference. I certainly hope Blacklist is not being cancelled.
I absolutely love this show. All these actors are superb. James Spader “Red” is perfect in his role. Definitely have a Season 5!
this is the best show on tv-There are many tried &true fans on facebook with me-keep BLACKLIST-get rid of redemption-plse don,t cancel BLACKLIST-I give this show 10 ++++

Keep this show coming. Best thing since 24. Don’t pull a Fox tv stunt and cancel it early. Great stories, fantastic cast, great filming… I could go on. You get the idea. DS

I give this show A 10+
