What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, The Blacklist stars James Spader, Diego Klattenhoff, Amir Arison, Hisham Tawfiq, Laura Sohn, and Harry Lennix. The story begins as one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, Raymond “Red” Reddington (Spader), offers to help the authorities if a specific rookie agent, Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone), partners with him. As season nine begins, it’s two years since the death of Elizabeth and Red and the members of the FBI Task Force have disbanded. When one of their own is injured in the line of duty, however, the Task Force is drawn back together to bring down a conspiracy that could shatter global security. In the process, they begin to uncover lethal adversaries, unimaginable conspiracies, and surprising betrayals that will threaten alliances and spur vengeance for the past, led by the most devious criminal of them all – Raymond Reddington.
Season Nine Ratings
The ninth season of The Blacklist averaged a 0.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.97 million viewers. Compared to season eight, that’s down by 16% in the demo and down by 9% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The Blacklist stacks up against other NBC TV shows.
The Blacklist has been renewed for a 10th and final season which will debut on February 26, 2023. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew The Blacklist for season 10? It feels like this show could have ended years ago, but the peacock network keeps renewing it. The move back to Thursdays might help its ratings but I think that, as long as Spader wants to continue, the show will go on. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Are you glad that The Blacklist TV show has been renewed for a 10th season? Are you disappointed that there won’t be an 11th year, or is 10 seasons a good enough run?
The Blacklist should remain on tv as long as James Spader continues to play Reddington. He is such a high quality actor that it would be insane to lose this show. I never miss it and often watch it twice to be sure I caught all the innuendo.
Please please keep the Blacklist on been watching since day one.
I’d love to see the blacklist continue for many more seasons. The first couple episodes of season 9 had me doubting it would. Now that Agnes knows Reds identity I’m confident it will cause Red to return to the sharp dressed anti hero aka concierge of crime. I was saddened to see him separated from Dembe though it was foreshadowed. Everyone ( especially the female viewers ) loved seeing Red with Ann a normal love interest. I’m having a hard time with his two new female sidekicks there unconvincing and uninteresting. Please return red to the sharp dressed powerful man… Read more »
PLEASE KEEP BLACKLIST ON ITS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON WHY IS IT THAT ALL THE GOOD SHOWS GET CANCELLED!!DONT LET BLACKLIST BE ONE OF THEM PLEASE
Please keep black list on . It was one of the shows my husband and I watched. Before I lost the love of my life.
Bring back blacklist
Keep the Blacklist on at least through Season 9! Love James Spader, Hisham Tawfiq, Amir Arison and Harry Lennix.
I’m addicted! I absolutely love this show, hope it keeps running!
Best series I’ve ever watched, I wand another 100 series…..
I will watch as long as James Spader is on the show. He has always been absolutely captivating as an actor in all his long running series. He is mesmerizing.
The show must go on even if it takes awhile for Agnes to age into this!
I would love to have it renewed. It is at a point where the show started again. Finding criminals on the Blacklist, not Kate getting revenge on Red for something he didn’t do. You have the little girl to carry that mystery of family now.
I agree it should have ended ages ago. It seems they keep stretching the bubble gum.
Should have ended 3 years ago
I’d love to see Blacklist renewed. It’s a great series.
