Of course, there have been other members of the team that are around for Red to work with, including Diego Klattenhoff as Donald Ressler, Harry Lennix as Harold Cooper, Hisham Tawfiq as Dembe Zuma, Amir Arison as Aram Mojtabai and Laura Sohn as Alina Park. Of course, following the events of season 8, that partnership has come to an end, with only Spader continuing with the show.
BLACKLIST SEASON 9 SERIES
The Blacklist has always featured the tenuous partnership between Red and Liz, played for the entire series by James Spader and Megan Boone, respectively. However, a rival associate pieced together Red’s plan and arrives on the scene and shoots Liz in the back. Liz begrudgingly accepts, but when the time comes to shoot Red she can’t do it, which he understands. To sweeten the pot, he reveals that he has a note from Liz’s mother explaining exactly who Red is, but she can only have it after she has killed him. Reddington tells Liz that he is dying but that he wants her to be the one to kill him so that she can take over his criminal empire. SPOILER ALERT if you are not caught up with The Blacklist as we’re about to go over the ending to season 8 (may be best to go catch up as soon as possible because it has some series-changing events).Įarly on in the finale of season 8, viewers are told to expect a death. In the show’s eight seasons this has seen Liz and Reddington deal with numerous aspects of the world of crime, while also having to deal with plenty of twists and turns and a greater exploration of the mysterious origin of their relationship. This inciting incident led to Liz and Reddington teaming up to take down some of the most nefarious criminals in the world using what is called “the Blacklist.” The series began with a young FBI profiler, Elizabeth “Liz” Keen, who has her life uprooted when a mysterious criminal, Raymond “Red” Reddington, who has eluded capture for decades, turns himself in and insists on speaking only to her. The Blacklist was created by Jon Bokenkamp and debuted on NBC in 2013. The Blacklist season 9 finale airs Friday, May 27 on NBC.

And don't forget, viewers can still catch up with the latest episodes of The Blacklist the day after they air on either Hulu or Peacock.
