The ratings for The Blacklist TV show took another big hit last season, dropping nearly 40% in the same day demo ratings. Now that the drama series will have enough episodes for a good-sized syndication package, will this NBC series be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season? Stay tuned to find out.
The Blacklist revolves around one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader). He offers to help the authorities if rookie agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) is his partner. The FBI then essentially works for him as he identifies a “blacklist” of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. The other castmembers in this drama include Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Ryan Eggold, Hisham Tawfiq, Amir Arison, and Mozhan Marno.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The third season of The Blacklist averaged a 1.42 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.83 million viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Keep it , love the show.
Keep it going. Great acting
The Blacklist should be renewed without any doubt views from Europe they don’t have actually allot of people are watching it and you can make The Black list like a todays world goes on story 😉 Its nice and always nice to see bad people are getting locked^^
Putting so much attention on Liz is killing the show, I was happy when it looked like she was killed off. Also long arc are boring, each show should feature 1 black lister & be done.
It must be renewed without any doubt. I love the show and I’m a huge fan of James Spader so please do not cancel it.
RENEW SHOW IS GREAT!!!! MAKE SEASON 5 110%!!!! Nd pick up “the following” because that show was awesome as well !!!! Would definitely get millions of peoples attention show was fantastic !!!!
