The Blacklist has wrapped its ninth season and the season finale saw the exit of two series regulars. Amir Arison and Laura Sohn will not return for season 10 of the NBC drama. Arison has been on the series since the first season, and Sohn joined the series during season seven.
Arison, who played Aram Mojtabi, is preparing to star in The Kite Runner in his Broadway debut. John Eisendrath, showrunner of the NBC drama, said the following about Arison’s exit, per Deadline: “Amir has been a huge part of The Blacklist family. He’s a great actor and an even better person. We wish him well and hope he can return to reprise the role for some very special episodes next year.” Sohn, who portrayed FBI agent Alina Park, is reportedly leaving the series to pursue other projects.
James Spader, Diego Klattenhoff, Hisham Tawfiq, and Harry Lennix will return for season 10 of The Blacklist in early 2023.
What do you think? Are you sad to hear about these cast exits on The Blacklist?
Amir Arison will definitely be missed, and replacing him with another resident tech nerd will be a challenge. But James Spader is, and has been, very special in his role. As a huge fan I will return for Season 10 too.
I’ll miss both characters, but this show is so good, it won’t miss a beat. I wish it goes on for many more seasons.
Blacklist is Classic. I hope the series goes on for years
I will greatly miss Amir. His sense of what’s right and what’s not was needed on this show. I also preferred Dembe as Red’s sidekick. They played off of each other so well. Now Dembe’s character is one dimensional and boring.
Amir is the guts of the Blacklist. No one can replace his character.
Will kind of miss Amir. Disappointed was not warned of season finale….
The show needs change! Looking forward to the next season! Needs life support!
Will miss them both very much, they were such great assets to every episode. God bless you both for your next step in life. Maybe another series?
I am glad the rest of cast is still there, whew where would we be if they left too??!!
Have a good & safe summer will wait for your return next season , enjoy !
This show is so much better without the Keen character dragging down every scene she’s in.
I think I would leave that show as well I don’t know as many shows with the actual people have been dying off that are part of the show not characters
We are jumping the shark here. Now that we know who killed Elizabeth it should have ended. Just tell us who Red really is and be done with it.
They dedicated an entire episode to who Red is last year. Laid out the entire story from the beginning.
Aram will tough to replace. Now turn Dembe back into a bad guy.
Dembe was never a bad guy.
Amir Arison will be a huge loss. No one will miss Laura Sohn. She’ll be replaced easily. But I’m shocked the show has lasted this long, and that this last season was actually REALLY GOOD!
the show was supposed to end with season 7. It needed to. Now it just drags on, and on, and on. Watching all the characters grow older and less trim is not a good thing.
Class Buddy. Pure class
