What’s next for The Blacklist? Season three of the NBC series ended last night, and creator Jon Bokenkamp recently spoke to Deadline about his plans for season four.
The Blacklist stars James Spader as Raymond “Red” Reddington, one of the FBI’s most wanted who agrees to help the authorities if he works with agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone). Diego Klattenhoff, Ryan Eggold, Harry Lennix, Amir Arison, Mozhan Marno and Hisham Tawfiq also star. Last week, we reported NBC has ordered a spin-off series, The Blacklist: Redemption.
Discussing season four, Bokenkamp said fans can expect Red to be at the top of his game:
Look, that’s what’s so exciting to me about this next season. I feel like — at the end of season three — we landed on a really great engine driving us forward, and I think we have a similar engine here. The entire team is splintered, not just physically, but emotionally. The one person that Red cares about in this world is now missing and in the hands of his enemy. It’s gonna be really exciting to spin those in the room this year. As for Red, rest assured, he will be on fire.”
He also said next season will be a “roller coaster”:
I think the decision Liz made to fake her death will have significant impacts, not only with Red, but with the entire team! How much of a betrayal was this? How understanding will the others be? I think there is a lot of fertile material there, story wise, and that’s going to be a big part of Season 4. You think this was a roller coaster ride? Just wait.”
What do you think? Do you watch The Blacklist? Did you enjoy the season three finale?
I love the show, I enjoy James Spader and his crew. The intensity and twist and turns with his humor. I grew up in an adverse community in Shreveport,LA / Bossier City, LA. The Bossier Strip in the 50’s thru the 70’s considered to be like Las Vegas. Elvis got his start here, Jim Reeves,Hank Williams, Lefty Fezel and many others performed here at the home of the La Hay Ride. There was a lot of real life action here back in the day. I especially enjoy Reds way of handling all situations with no des creation. I would love… Read more »
Great movie.. I can’t really wait for the season four.
Great show
Love the show
I am glad that Ryan Eggold has left The Blacklist. The second half of S3 was not BL worthy. It was more a love soap. I am lookin forward to S4 though and I’ll hope we’ll get the ‘old’ Blacklist back. Red and Liz and Liz and Red :).
The Blacklist was a bit of a disappointment this year. And the ‘she’s back but now gone again’ plot has been done by other series and could be seen coming from miles away.
I knew Liz was alive, but I wanted Raymond to be her father!!!! Please!
Oh no! Red isn’t Liz’s father??? All this time we’re thinking he is, but now this Kirk guy says he is???!!! Or is this just another roller coaster ride, and Red truly is her dad? This is torture till’ next season!
I knew it!! There was no way Liz was out of Blacklist! James Spader and Megan Boone are the show! Yaayyy! Can’t wait for next season!! The best show on NBC! Keep it up!
