What do you think? Do you watch The Blacklist? Are you glad it’s coming back?
Love James Spader, love the show! I will cry when the series ends.
I found The Blacklist on Netflix and binged all 5 seasons. So i googled to see if and when it would be renewed since I was hooked. Idk if it was accurate but Google said 6 was the final season. I was sad. But now hearing it’s been renewed for season 7 I’m ecstatic. I don’t understand why there’s no mention of a change in plans for the show. How ever they got to that decision, it works for me…..very happy, just hate waiting. I only watch after airing because I have no patience to sit through commercials, so I… Read more »
I love the Blacklist and hope they renew for several seasons!! I watch it delayed only because I do not have cable
I have never missed a show of his until he was moved around to different He and his cast are the best! The only one that was really way out there was where the bugs were coming out of that ladies mouth. Eeked out on that one. Thank you for such wonderful entertainment. Who doesn’t love James Spader
I thought the bugs were awesome even though I have a bug phobia…..lol
Very well written and acted program that seduces with its intelligent approach!
I can’t wait for the series to come back.
My favorite series by far.
that is great!
I must say I wholeheartedly agree with the ladies on this. ( although it’s a little strange I don’t see any men..or maybe I didn’t go far enough) Anyhow I’ve watched since episode one. I was immediately hooked. I haven’t missed an episode yet and don’t intend to. I’ve even rewatched the complete series on Netflix. I know nothing lasts forever but a couple more seasons would be perfectly fine with me. Thank you NBC for an intriguing series that never disappoints.
This is the best show on TV. It is always a cliff hanger and you just wish it was 2 hours instead of 1 hour!!!
So, so happy that it has been renewed!! I love the show & I absolutely love James Spader!! What a wonderful cast, too!! It’s a great show with lots of twists & turns & loads of drama!!!
Omg!! Im so glad!! Its our favorite tv show and its not cancelled for season 7. Not too happy its on Fridays now though which is why im sure of the drop in viewers. Go back to thurs and see. Plus it started 3 months later than it was supposed to . Still great and brilliant!!
That’s why God made DVR’S. I couldn’t live without mine…….lol
I’m sòoooooooo glad the network had the good sense to renew The Blacklist. I very rarely watch television but I NEVER miss The Blacklist. The best show, in its genre, ever aired!!
Best show ever made!
Love this show, favorite drama show to watch. I’ve faithfully watched this show since its debut…
Blacklist is my favorite tv serie. This season 6 is amazing. Good job guys! I’m a little bit sad because Samar left the task force team. She and Aram were so cute together.
