Viewers of The Blacklist will see a big exit in the eighth season finale later this month. Star Megan Boone is departing the NBC drama, per Deadline. The decision for her to leave the series was made prior to the drama being renewed for a ninth season earlier this year.
Season eight has shown Boone’s character, Liz, complete her journey from FBI agent to criminal. She even landed on Red’s blacklist at No. 1. The news about Boone’s departure is not a complete surprise as her character has not appeared in eight episodes this season.
Boone will not exit before a lot of questions are answered, however. The final two episodes of season eight will give a lot of answers, including why Red entered Liz’s life years ago.
NBC will air the final two episodes of The Blacklist season eight on Wednesday nights (June 16th and 23rd), instead of in its normal Friday time slot.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Blacklist on NBC? Are you shocked by Boone’s exit? Will you continue to watch the series during its ninth season?
I think the show has run it course . But will watch to see how they end it . ’
Why did the change the night , BUMMER.
We love the current show and are shocked that Meagan is leaving! The show won’t be the same without her but we will still watch it. We love the characters and the strange twists of the show!
Liz was the worst part of the show , I stoped watching the show because of her , she should be fired 4 seasons ago
I couldn’t quite ‘stomach’ Boone, but James Spader is a major force as Red Reddington and the majority of actors on The Blacklist are simply amazing! How anyone could have ‘stoped’ watching because of Boone is the true mystery here.
I am soooo glad she’s FINALLY leaving! I wanted her dead seasons ago! She’s nothing but a sore eye for the show! Her decision making all the time is so dumb! Without Reddington watching out for her and protecting her she would have gotten killed in season 1 Good riddance!!!
Yes I will continue to watch She was annoying and a 2nd rate actor good to see her go
Will continue to watch it’s really a good show Red is the main character
I will still watch as Red is the main character.
No I will not continue to watch Blacklist once Elizabeth leaves, it was bad enough without Tom… now it’s over for me
I think this is a shame that Megan is out I dont know the reasons but for me is bad.
I really love this show
We really liked it the first 3-4 seasons but gotta say these last two years have been hard to watch. Convoluted, mystery on mystery, seemed to have lost its way, its direction. Red’s mindless attempted revenge killing of “Mr. Kaplan” was ridiculous, and the show seemed to jump the shark after that. Hopefully they’ll get back on track for 9 but alas, that will probably be the last season.
Too bad love characters will truly be missed this crime drama. Hopefully been something better story and show.
I love this show. I’ll miss “Liz Keen,” but as long as we have Red Reddington, I’ll continue enthusiastically tuning in!
We thought she left to take acting lessons.
Her acting skills are no where near the caliber of James Spader
She will not be missed
Best comment ever!!
Well, that sucks but I hate the direction they took her character so it makes her exit much less painful. That said – I do not want them to cancel Blacklist because it is an amazing show.
Liz was the worst part of the show for me. She is always in danger and has to be rescued and I didn’t buy that she had to get revenge for the death of ruthless mother she never knew. Part of the reason her character was so bad is that the writers strung out the reveal about her relationship to Red for so long. She spent eight seasons running in circles.
I agree !
Nothing more ignorant than a female character with brains, high caliber job, and make her an emotional puss led around by her feelings to do ridiculous things. I couldn’t stomach her character.
