NBC Renews THE BLACKLIST For Season 8

If you’re a fan of the series The Blacklist, you’ll be happy to hear that NBC has ordered an eighth season! The announcement was made in celebration of the show’s 150th episode, which the cast and crew were celebrating in New York this morning.

As of right now, it doesn’t look like this eighth season will be its last. This show has been a big hit for NBC and the network obviously feels that it still has a longer life.

It was also announced that The Blacklist’s seventh season will resume on Friday, March 20th with two back-to-back episodes. So, if you're not caught up yet, you have time!

I enjoy watching this show, mostly because of what James Spader brings to it. He’s so great in the role of Raymond "Red" Reddington. Sony Pictures Television has closed new deals with the original cast members whose contracts were coming to an end, including stars Spader and Megan Boone. The show’s entire cast is set to return next season.

Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment, said in a statement:

“Congratulations to our incredible cast, producers and crew, all of whom continue to reach excellence week in and week out. We couldn’t be more excited to continue Red and Liz’s story into season eight.”

Chris Parnell, Co-President, Sony Pictures Television added:

The Blacklist’ continues to tell exciting and imaginative stories. It’s due to the brilliant cast, crew and our writing staff, led by Jon Bokenkamp and John Eisendrath, who commit to unparalleled creativity. Wait until you see what’s in store for season eight. Thank you to Lisa Katz, Tracey Pakosta, Pearlena Igbokwe and all of our partners at NBC and Universal Television.”

Are you a fan of The Blacklist? Do you want to see the series keep going for years to come or do you think it should end while it’s still on a high note?
