The crime drama will conclude its story this year.
February 1, 2023
NBC announced today that The Blacklist is coming to an end after its upcoming 10th season. The news comes weeks ahead of the crime drama's now-final run, which is scheduled to premiere later this month.
"After 10 years, hundreds of Blacklist cases and more than 200 episodes produced, we're honored to reach our conclusion," said showrunner 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."
Led by James Spader, the series premiered in 2013 as one of the top new shows of the year. While its best days are well behind it, the show still garnered a respectable audience in its most-recent Friday night time slot. The upcoming final season will see yet another new time slot for the show, with the network slotting it in on Sunday nights for the time being.
The Blacklist stars Spader as an ex-government agent-turned-FBI's most wanted fugitive, who mysteriously surrenders himself to the agency with an offer to help them bring down some of the country's top criminals. The only condition is that he gets to work alongside the FBI, which leads to a twisting series of events that slowly reveal his true motives.
The 10th and final season of The Blacklist premieres on Sunday, February 26 at 10:00pm.

I've still got half a dozen or so of the last season's episodes to watch. The team is different now. Some female agent joined it a few episodes ago and acts like she's been on it for years. The scripts are trite and full of storylines that never would have been written for this show in better years. Spader is still great in this role but the writing has made the last few episodes almost unwatchable. It should have been wrapped up last season when it was more interesting. Now, it will forever have an aftertaste.

Time for it too end but enjoyed it when they got rid of the silly Liz drama. Love James Spader, will keep an eye out for any new projects from him.

A real life reality spinoff is coming where they will show gow corrupt the FBI really is.
Should be fun to watch

Well, it's been a journey. Honestly the only reason to watch this show the past few seasons was James Spader's performance. We saw the slow corruption of the FBI unit, and layer upon layer of story lines that made no sense, until Spader's performance was the only reason to watch it.
I think they had to end it because they were running out of numbers under 200 for the titles.

I watched up till halfway of season 4 but got immensely bored with it, what also didn't help is that the female lead that plays Elizabeth Keen is such a terrible actress. Spader was the only saving grace of this show but still not enough to keep me interested in it since a lot of time is spent on Elizabeth's storyline.
A long while ago I read something in the lines of her getting the role because a rich family member pulled some strings.

Has the question who Reddington is not been answered already? I thought that 'he' was Liz's mom?

Looks like I will not be watching this season then.

I don't think the producers will answer the core question that the fans have been wanting an answer on, which is who Raymond Reddington truly is, because that's how it works in Hollywood - leaving such a question open is somehow seen as the series ending on a hopeful note.
I am glad though, that it is ending. I still enjoy watching it, although it is past its prime, and I am glad we will get an official ending rather than an abrupt cancellation. James Spader made his old age comfortable now that this show will go into syndication forever, given its passed the 200 episode mark, which means he will get paid for this forever.

Checked out in the 2020-2021 season. Story lines were getting out of my interests.
Hope the current fans enjoy the ending
