Will The Blacklist soon be on the list of TV shows cancelled?
NBC has dumped the upcoming sixth season to Friday nights, with a 2-hour premiere on January 4 at 8PM before settling into its regular 9PM time-slot from Jan. 11.
The sixth season of NBC’s “The Blacklist” will premiere with a two-hour special on Friday, Jan. 4 from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT and air regularly on Fridays from 9-10 p.m. beginning Jan. 11.
- Following the startling revelation that Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) isn’t who he says he is, Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) is torn between the relationship she’s developed with the man assumed to be her father and her desire to get to the bottom of years of secrets and lies. Meanwhile, Red leads Liz and the FBI to some of the most strange and dangerous criminals yet, growing his empire and eliminating rivals in the process. All throughout, Liz and Red engage in an uneasy cat-and-mouse game in which lines will be crossed and the truth will be revealed.
- Last season “The Blacklist” averaged a 1.6 rating in adults 18-49 and 8.6 million viewers overall in “live plus seven day” figures from Nielsen Media Research, to finish #2 in its competitive Wednesday 8-9 p.m. time period in total viewers and improve the slot by +1.4 million persons or +20% versus NBC’s year-earlier results (8.6 million vs. 7.2 million).
- “The Blacklist” also stars Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Amir Arison, Mozhan Marnò and Hisham Tawfiq.
- John Eisendrath, Jon Bokenkamp, John Davis, John Fox, James Spader, Lukas Reiter, J.R. Orci, Carla Kettner and Laura A. Benson serve as executive producers.
- “The Blacklist” is a production of Davis Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television and Universal Television.
Having narrowly escaped cancellation last May, the Friday night move suggests the end could be near for The Blacklist.
Stay tuned as we continue to track the cancel/renew status of The Blacklist Season 7…
Enjoy this show a lot, so I hope it doesn’t get canceled!!
I have loved Blacklist from the beginning and with the shocking revelation of last season’s finale, I’m really looking forward to this coming season. Please, NBC, don’t cancel this show! There is life outside of Chicago!
I love this show! ❤ I sure hope that it doesn’t get canceled .
This show has amazed me since the first episode of the first season. I’ve always thought that the episodes had the look and feel of a movie. The production values seem to go beyond average television shows.
Every once in a while the story line would wander for an episode or two but they always came back to the story line and had a good finish.
I hope they show NBC that the audience will follow the show to Friday night and good ratings will continue.
you cannot expect a prime time show do “out shine” it’s competitors, when you keep moving it’s time slots, but the competition stays put.
