THE BLACKLIST to End with Season 10

THE BLACKLIST’s upcoming tenth season will be its last, NBC announced.

Season 10—which kicks off on Sunday, February 26 at 10/9c—will also include the show’s milestone 200th episode, which is set to air on Sunday, March 19.

“It isn’t often that a series resonates so deeply with an audience that it airs for 10 seasons, but THE BLACKLIST proved to a perfect combination of highly talented producers, stellar writing, a cast that never failed to deliver and a crew that always rose to the occasion,” said Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, in a statement. “A huge thank you to our partners at Sony, everyone from the past decade who made this show an integral part of NBC’s storied history and, of course, a special nod to James Spader, whose performance remains nothing short of spectacular.”

“We thank our wonderful partners at NBC for a remarkable 10 seasons of THE BLACKLIST, the series that introduced the world to Raymond Reddington, brilliantly portrayed by James Spader,” added Jason Clodfelter, Co-President, Sony Pictures Television Studios. “James has led a multi-talented and diverse cast that also featured legendary guest stars and hundreds of Blacklisters who made us all root for this anti-hero. We tip our Reddington hat to the dedicated production staff, hard-working crew and talented writers. The unpredictable plot twists have produced a legacy TV show that served to entertain a worldwide audience and as we enter the final season, we can’t wait for audiences to see how Raymond Reddington takes a final bow.”

“After 10 years, hundreds of BLACKLIST cases and more than 200 episodes produced, we’re honored to reach our conclusion,” said showrunner and executive producer John Eisendrath. “It’s been incredibly fun to create the strange, devious and delightful Blacklisters to challenge Raymond Reddington and our FBI Task Force each week. We would like to thank everyone at NBC and Sony, our extraordinary crew who make the impossible happen every day, our endlessly inventive writers and producers, and our remarkable cast who brought life to these characters. We appreciate our dedicated fanbase who came along for this wonderful ride and are excited to share this final season with them.”

According to NBC, in the final season, “Raymond Reddington (James Spader) confronts unparalleled danger. With Reddington’s covert role as an FBI informant facing exposure, former Blacklisters will unite against him in their lethal desire for revenge – testing Red and the FBI Task Force as never before.”  In additiona to Spader, the series also stars Diego Klattenhoff, Hisham Tawfiq, Anya Banerjee, and Harry Lennix.
