Tonight on NBC, The Blacklist returns after a long mid-season break. Today, the network announced that the top-rated drama will return for a third season as well.
The Blacklist revolves around one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives (James Spader) who begins helping the authorities if a particular rookie agent (Megan Boone) is his partner. Now, the FBI works for him as he identifies a “blacklist” of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. The other castmembers in this drama include Harry Lennix, Diego Klattenhoff, Ryan Eggold, and Amir Arison.
The nine episodes of season two that have aired so far have averaged a 3.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.83 million viewers. Compared to the first season, that’s up by 15% in the demo and 10% in total viewership.
The recent post-Super Bowl episode drew an 8.4 in the demo and 25.72 million. The network gave The Blacklist that coveted post-game airing to help promote the show’s move to Thursday nights where it will be going head-to-head with Scandal on ABC. Time will tell if this move is a permanent one but The Blacklist will certainly return for the 2015-16 season.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that The Blacklist has been renewed for a third season? Do you think it will stay on Thursday nights?
GREAT SHOW! LOVE IT !

I am very glad to hear that the Blacklist is being renewed for another season ..love the show keep it airing for many seasons to come…

love the show, it’s the best. please have it run for another season or two.
I truly love this show, glad it is still on!
The best show on TV ! I like it even better than The Americans which is a great show. I love Blacklist.
yea i am so glad that it is going to be on, i could watch james all day long, so fine a man, i look forward to the show
I think James way of acting is great! I would watch any show he is in. I think the Blacklist is great! I’m very happy that it will be back next season. But you need to get more real with this plot, not always why is he doing this and always the questions as to why is he picking Megan, there is more then just the “folkem”? spelling
Come on you writers can keep this going! James plays a part that most people would love to do or be in real life. This is much better then James Bond 007!
The Blacklist is my favorite TV show right now and I’m so happy to hear its going to have a 3rd season I hope it will have more and be one of those ongoing shows! It certainly has what it takes in all areas!! Love James Spader 😉
