What’s This TV Show About?

An NBC action thriller, Blindspot stars Sullivan Stapleton, Jaimie Alexander, Rob Brown, Audrey Esparza, Ashley Johnson, and Ennis Esmer. After amnesiac “Jane Doe” (Alexander) is found in Times Square, FBI Agent Kurt Weller (Stapleton) and his team work to decipher her intricate tattoos. Despite a web of conspiracy and corruption, they begin to uncover the clues therein, as well as Jane’s identity. As season four of the crime drama kicks off, the FBI team hunts a dangerous enemy operative, and a deadly new foe emerges.

Telly’s Take

Will NBC cancel or renew Blindspot for season five? Based on last year’s performance, it could easily have been cancelled. Instead, it was renewed after the network negotiated a reduction in its licensing fee, so that it would remain profitable. It almost always comes down to money, so a fifth season renewal will depend in part on whether Warner Bros. and NBC can come to a deal that makes more sense than selling a somewhat smaller syndication package. Recently, NBC pulled the series for May sweeps so that may be a sign that the show is done. I’ll update this page with any new breaking developments.
