NBC hadn’t had any luck filling the Mondays at 10pm timeslot until Revolution came along. Will The Blacklist be a ratings success this year? Will it see a second season or will it be cancelled after just one? Time will Tell.
The Blacklist revolves around one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives (James Spader) who offers to help the authorities if a particular rookie agent (Megan Boone) is his partner. The other castmembers in this drama include Harry Lennix, Diego Klattenhoff, Ryan Eggold, and Ilfenesh Hadera.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
12/3 update: NBC has renewed The Blacklist for a second season of 22 episodes.
Final season averages: 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.79 million total viewers.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like The Blacklist TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love The Blacklist, one of the few really good shows on television!
I love The Blacklist!
One of the best shows ever!
James Spader has never been this good and I really like Reds personality, so well played and this show must continue!
Blacklist, can’t wait for Monday night. Better show than NCIS right now.
My faith in television drama has been restored. Thank you NBC and The Blacklist. No machines and cuckoo women. Just great scripts, wonderful actors and a challenging drama.
preach!
Love The Blacklist. Would enjoy seeing it go for many more seasons. This is definitely James Spader at his best.
I live in Canada, Global airs the Blacklist, I really enjoy the programme, it keeps my interest.
The show must go on! Come on, dont do this to fans.. this show is incredible and with time i believe that x20 persons will track this unbelieveble great tv show! Don’t stop it becuz this is one of the few shows that is interesting to people! And yeah, this is the most intelligent show on network television like shani says!
I love the black list keep it going
Terrific show – kept me riveted every week. They can’t leave viewers hanging like this.
Best Show ever!!! Can’t let this one go.
Love this show! James Spader is just gorgeous. It is great that they are planning a second season. Also like the others actors very much.
Love this show – if they cancel this show they are nuts! Mondays are now my Fav day of the week. Wish it was on at 9 but that’s my only complaint
I’ve loved this show since the first episode. James Spader can recite the telephone book and make it sound interesting.
The Blacklist is the most intelligent show on network television. Scandal runs a close second. The only reason to EVER cancel the show for ratings would be that America has become accustomed to “dumbed down” reality series written for brain dead zombies.
PLEASE … Don’t cancel his show, nothing else on your network is interesting.
