Red will be back from more in the 2022-23 television season. NBC has renewed The Blacklist for a 10th-anniversary year. The ninth season resumes on Friday night.
A crime thriller series, 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.
Airing on Thursday nights, the ninth season of The Blacklist has averaged a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.13 million viewers. Compared to season eight, that’s up by 1% in the demo and down by 4% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). In the live+7 day delayed viewing, the series is averaging a 0.59 in the demo and 5.01 million, adding an average of 66% and 60% respectively.
This evening, Spader appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and confirmed that the network had ordered season 10 this afternoon.
What do you think? Are you glad that The Blacklist has been renewed for a 10th season? How much longer do you think this show should run?
I love James Spader. Whatever program he’s in. I always look forward to the Blacklist and will never want it to end.
Continue forever unlike producers that cancel great show like hawai 5 o. ( can’t spell) Well done nhs/ Sony from the U.K.
Sooooooooo HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH! love this program…wish it would last many more seasons…I only watch two programs on basic programs on basic TV.. Blacklist and Good Dr. this makes me so happy. LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!
They jumped the shark when Liz died. The agents are all problematic & unrealistic. They need to give it a decent death & fill us in on Red’s real story. At this point I think this is more about a paycheck than the story. And I have watched from the beginning & have loved the villains & am a long time James Spader fan (Boston Law with Shatner & Betty White was the best). So don’t hate me for thinking Ten should be the end.
I’m so happy one of the best shows on tv James spader is great along with the rest of the cast
I am so glad it is back. I hope I can watch it on spectrum cable which is where I think I watched it before. These days it is not always easy to find certain stations. I was so disappointed when Blacklist seemed to be over, so am looking forward to new series. I hope I can remember what went before and hope some kind of review will be offered. Too many episodes to go back and watch. BTW I thought the cartoon episode was very well accomplished. The drawings were very true to life!!
Love the Blacklist and Red!!!
Great show !!!!!!!
Fell flat for me in Season 8 and haven’t watched since, even though I can still view the latest episode here in England.
Since the pandemic hit, I found other pursuits away from my fix of American television.
Good news ! Been watching this show since day one.
Awesome news! Hope it never ends
Great news been watch it since day one first aired love it and enjoy it never missed any episodes of it. Look forward to seeing it every Thursday night crime drama.

My husband and I love this show. We are so happy to hear it’s been renewed for another season. We certainly will be looking forward to it with great anticipation.
Yayyyy! I thought I was going to DIE, if they didn’t have another season of “THE BLACKLIST”!
