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?
Love, love , love the Blacklist and haven’t missed an episode from the very beginning! Looking forward to season 9
I love the show & cast. She will be missed! I was hoping that Elizabeth death was staged , so that criminals would not seek her out. That she survived shooting , learned the truth about Reddington and become partners in crime. Now that would be a great start to next season. Bring Liz back to life , meaning replace the real Liz with another look alike actress if Liz is not coming back. But keep the father and daughter Duo going.
OMG, I sure will miss Liz… and now, what about Agnes?
The Blacklist is an awesome show. I’m sorry that Elizabeth is gone, but I will continue to watch until the show is cancelled. I hope that doesn’t happen for a long time.
Phenomenal show!!!
This horse has lost enough of its legs. Tell us who Reddington is and put it out of its misery already.
When I saw her get shoot I assumed that Red would wisk her away to one of his privare medical facilities to save her life. This is such a great show. Hate to see her leave and the show be cancelled
Surprized Liz was shot. Will continue watching
wow! what an ending seadon 8, can’t wait for season 9. James Spader is still so amazing. But, is Liz really dead?mm
While Elizabeth (Megan), will be missed, the show will continue w/o her. Had Red’s plans carried through for his own death this hit show would not have continued. Reddington IS the star and center of this story, not Agent Keane.
I’m a big fan of the show: Blacklist .
I hope you continue for years to come.
Please don’t end a great show.
Till us who Raymond is and continue to end the bad guys season after season.

I will follow to the end because this is a very tense and good writing It was very sad to see Liz shot in end but liked flash backs. Well done
A P.S. to my comment. I meant to say the show would not be the same without Reddington. He makes the show.
Yes I will watch season nine, although it won’t be the same without Elizabeth. But it was an appropriate ending for the turn from agent to criminal. It would definitely not be the same with Reddington. Great show.
I have watched every episode from the beginning – Reddington the criminal you hate to love but it was hard to see Liz fall – my thoughts Katarina had a real lover – the replacement Reddington – her real father. I would suspect that there is another “potential” heir out there somewhere. Can’t wait for the next season.
