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?
I love it! Can’t wait for the coming episodes. If I can’t watch on the day that it is scheduled I will certainly be recording it.
Best series on TV in a very long time. Since all the networks are looking and focusing on realality TV. NBC has found a great drama suspense series that over takes the others.
This is the first time I have given a comment on anything like this. I hope it makes a little difference.
We are thrilled, #the bestshow
Blacklist is one of, if not, the best dramas on TV. I love it. Keep renewing it.
yaayyy. i just hope tom keen and Elizabeth keen can get back together this season..
Me too!
We like it…please continue.
one of the best series cnt wait for season 3
Superb production. Roll on series 3. Stunning so far
Yes Yes Yes it should be renewed !! It is a great show.
This is the very best show on TV. We record it so we can watch is several times. I t is a different and great show.
Was a good series but has declined somewhat. Megan Boone is a horrible actress and the on again off again love interest with “Jacob” leaves a lot to be desired. James Spader is the only reason to watch.
You have got to be kidding – they are all good and James Spader is great !
Oh thank goodness for another season…I absolutely love this show!!!!
cant wait for the 3rd series to start. love it!!!!!
CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!
Yippee
best show since 24
