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 keep the show. I love it & can’t wait to see more.
This is a great show!!! I really hope there are many more seasons! I missed the first 2 seasons and went back and caught up on all of them and look forward to seeing this show every week. Sometimes have to DVR but always watch!
I stopped watching the show a couple of months ago. As much as I love James Spader, the show started to drag….
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS IN YEARS TV IS BEGINNING TO USE SEX AS A ATTENTION GETTER MORE AND AND USING MORE COLORFUL WORDS THATS NOT ENTERTAINMENT I FIND MYSELF WATCHING LESS AND LESS TV WHEN I TURN ON THE MAJOR NETWORKS I EXPECT TO WATCH TV WITH MY FAMILY THIS IS ONE SHOW I CAN AND IS GOOD REDEMPTION WONT LAST
Please do not use all capitals and please use punctuation! Capitals makes it look like you are shouting and the lack of punctuation makes it difficult to understand, thank you.
It is and has been a “must see”!! It is intriguing every week the writers smart presenters and the acting? tv’s best series performers. It never gets stale or shrug worthy. Season 5? Absolutely! Viewership down? Put it on Sunday nights and advertise it. Redemption viewers never thought it was Blacklist replacement & watching it meant folks didn’t expect or want new Blacklist episodes. Redemption just a new show and by the way not half as good! Season 5, go!
love this show….keep it coming.My son and I get together every week to eat pizza and watch it.It is our “quality mother/son time” and we look forward to many more seasons.
Please, please, please don’t cancel this phenomenal series! James Spader brings this show to life! The writers of this show and Spader are a winning combination!
