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.

Such a compelling well written series. I hope series 6 and others continue in the same vein. Please! Some of the best story lines on TV today.

I oh yesss!! Thank you NBC for a sixth season of wonderful The Blacklist.
It truly is the best show on television!! James Spader is magnificent as is the whole cast.
Was there ever another villain like Red?!?
I just love the blacklist will always watch it just can’t believe he is not her real father what happen was kinda hoping he was her real father!!!!!
Arguably the best-written and finest acted show on non-cable television. Therein lies the rub – it does not get the awards or the attention it truly deserves. When something such as this improves with age, do you end it? At your own peril!
My husband and I can’t get enough of “The Blacklist”. We look forward to watching every week each season. Please continue airing “The Blacklist”.
Best show on television. I am thrilled it is coming back. Kudos to NBC for a sixth season!
