Last year, although The Blacklist TV show dropped a little in the Nielsen ratings 18-49 demo, it actually rose in terms of total audience size. Now that it’s back for a sixth season and the cancelled spin-off is a distant memory, can it regain some of the ground it has ceded over the years or, is this the beginning of the end for the Concierge of Crime? Will The Blacklist be cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An NBC action thriller, The Blacklist stars James Spader, Megan Boone, Diego Klattenhoff, Amir Arison, Mozhan Marnò, 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 rookie agent Elizabeth Keen (Boone) partners with him. In season six, following revelations that Red is not who he claimed to be, Liz is determined to get to the truth, even while Red continues to build his empire and eliminate his rivals.
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.
