'The Blacklist' Renewed for Season 9!

The Blacklist is back!

The drama was renewed for Season 9 at NBC for the 2021-22 season, THR reported Tuesday (January 26).

The renewal news comes after just three episodes of Season 8, largely due to production delays at the start of the season amid the pandemic.

The Blacklist is the current third-longest-running scripted series on NBC, behind only Law & Order: SVU and Chicago Fire.

“The James Spader- and Megan Boone-led series remains a steady performer on Friday nights, with its first two episodes averaging a 1.2 rating in the key ad demographic of adults 18-49 and 7.2 million viewers, including delayed viewing and streaming to date. Both figures are more than double the initial numbers for the show (0.4 and 3.6 million). The show is also very popular on Netflix: Per Nielsen, The Blacklist ranked ninth among all acquired streaming series in 2020 with almost 14.5 billion minutes of viewing time,” the outlet reported.

All of these Netflix shows just got renewed!
