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?
Was VERY surprised she’s leaving. And the charsyer Red is supposedly dying,so who’s going to be left? A new cast,?
I will watch The Blacklist as long as it is on tv. I love the show and have watched since the beginning. James Spader is great!!
Ding dong the witch is dead. She turned against him every chance she got and even stole his empire. Good riddins.
Love the Blacklist. Can’t say I’m sorry to see Liz go. She really made an as* of herself last season. Looking forward to season #9. I hope Red’s illness has a remission.
Love the show, love James Spader. Never really was a fan of Boone or her character. Still have questions that need to be answered.
I think that there are still many questions and it will be great to see a new twist to the plot
Since I am a fan of James Spader I will keep watching. I’m curious to finally know if Reddington (N13) was really her father. If that was a kill shot ? If it was (Likely since she quit the show) will Reddington now be motivated to get medical treatment so he can live on and adopt her daughter. Other than that; the show can definitely survive Megan Boone’s exit.
Will continue to watch. The show can continue on without her. It’s not based on her anyway. Looking forward to next season to see how it’s changed.
Won’t watch much now
Glad Elizabeth’s character is gone.
Hallelujah that Elizabeth is leaving!!! I may actually keep watching it now.
A favorite of mine. The writing has gotten a bit corny at times this season – it’s clear the writers have changed over – but yes I’ll continue to watching.
Love The Blacklist, one of the best series currently. Bringing in new characters always adds to the twists and turns.
My favorite show. I will miss Liz and I’ll continue watching.
WE ARE FANS
