The Blacklist was once one of NBC’s highest-rated scripted series but those days are long gone. Last season, The Blacklist saw another big drop in the ratings but it was still renewed by the peacock network. How long will this show run? Will The Blacklist be cancelled or renewed for season eight? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An action-thriller, The Blacklist stars James Spader, Megan Boone, Diego Klattenhoff, Amir Arison, Hisham Tawfiq and Harry Lennix. The crime drama centers on one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, Raymond “Red” Reddington (Spader), who offers to help the authorities if a specific rookie agent, Elizabeth Keen (Boone), partners with him. In season seven, Red finds himself alone in hostile territory, surrounded by old enemies and possibly new allies. He must stay one step ahead of the Blacklist’s most dangerous criminal, who will stop at nothing to unearth the very truth Red wants no one to know about. To find it, Katarina will insinuate herself into Liz’s life, who has finally reunited with her daughter Agnes. Katarina’s presence will bring danger to Liz’s doorstep and forever alter her relationship with Red.

What do you think? Do you like The Blacklist TV series on NBC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for an eighth season?
*2/20/20 update: NBC has renewed The Blacklist for an eighth season.
I hated the animated finale. A lot of scenes werent close ups and could have been shot with one camera and social distancing. I missed most of it as I despise such great actors to be animated. Awfful. Iam dyieng and I love james spader.
Please renew the show. James Spader is an amazing actor and it’s fantastic watching him in action.
Renew the Blacklist. Nothing else in anyway.
Renew the Blacklist
Luv the show. Please renew my favorite on TV.
Show was always predictable fare, but alas a network show. So below the great work Spader did in film. A predictable waste. Surprised it’s still on. You see 1 episode, you’ve seen them all.
