The Peacock Network is sticking with Red. Today, the The Blacklist TV show was renewed for a sixth season, of 22 episodes, on NBC. The Blacklist season six renewal was announced by NBC on its official Twitter page. Check it out, below.
An action thriller, The Blacklist centers on one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) who offers to help the authorities, if rookie agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) partners with him. The cast also includes Diego Kattenhoff, Ryan Eggold, Harry Lennix, Amir Arison, Mozhan Marnò, and Hisham Tawfiq.

The Blacklist: A Look at the Ratings:
Though ratings aren’t as strong as they used to be, The Blacklist is still a solid performer for NBC. So far, season five is averaging a .94 rating in the 18-49 demo and 5.678 million viewers. Compared to last season, that’s actually a nearly an 8% increase in viewership.
Status of Other Sony Shows at NBC
Earlier this week, we reported that Sony was negotiating with NBC over season six of The Blacklist, Timeless season three, and two potential new series: Guess Who Died and a Bad Boys spin-off, LA’s Finest. According to Deadline, NBC has declined to pick up the two new series, and a decision has not yet been announced regarding a third season of Timeless. That show’s two hour season finale airs at 9:00pm ET/PT, on Sunday, May 13th. Perhaps news will break soon thereafter. When we know more, you will, too.

Look forward to EVERY Wednesday night and can’t say enough positive comments about this series! Thank goodness there is going to be a season 6 and hopefully more after that…
Love this show. If they do cancel the show I hope that we get an ending.
Love Blacklist.So glad there will be a 6th season.
Happy to hear “The Blacklist” is renewed for season 6, but would love to see “Timeless” come back for season 3 too. Please make it happen, NBC!
Just wish Blacklist would be moved to a later time! I have to miss it because it comes on so early. Love the show and am thrilled it is on for season six!

Get a dvr or some type of video recording device, then you can watch it any time you like and fast forward through the annoying commercials.
I’ve already had two of my shows cancelled so this is actually good news to hear! Thank you NBC!
Absolutely love James Spader & The Blacklist!
I started watching the Blacklist this Spring on Netflix and I love it. My favorite character is Red, he is mysterious, intelligent, charismatic and very dangerous. Inspire of it all he is caring and loving. All of the actors do a great job portraying their character but James is simply the best. So glad to hear about season six!
That has just made my day. Blacklist renewed
Absolutely one our of favorite shows.. Have followed James Spader for many years.. He makes acting look so easy and his personality is one of a kind… Need to have a special visit from “Denny Crane”…
