The Blacklist Season 3: "Will Have a Different Feel"

Here's the promo for the Third Season.

With the new season of The Blacklist just four weeks away, it won't be the same show that we're use to after two seasons.

Executive Producer John Elsendrath tells TVLine that this season will "still be delivering blacklisters" and that it will stay true with it's procedural roots and mentioned that the James Spader series "will have a different feel in it's new season after the events of the season finale in last May.

To make a quick recap, Liz Keen shot down Attorney General Tom Connolly at the end of Season Two, becoming a fugitive with Red. Her photo is now on the FBI's Most Wanted list. And she's being hunted down by her former colleagues that's led by Agent Ressler, who's leading the task force.

"That's going to cause a lot of tension between those on the task force, each of whom has a very specific point of view about the value of (arresting Liz," Elsendrath says. "Ressler is a dogged, by-the-book guy who is going to bring (Liz and Red) in. At the same time, we have found opportunities for Red and Liz to convince the FBI that one of the best ways to keep track of them is to assist them in going after certain blacklisters, who Red and Liz are going after in order to exonerate Liz."

The creator of the series, Jon Bokenkamp says that Season 3 won't be a complete reinvention of the series, but "it is a great shot of adrenaline. There's a real energy and urgency, and it came from an organic place."

But with that being said the producer  are in no rush to address the many questions of the show from Red's relationship with Liz, that has been the main question from the audience in the past two seasons.

"We will give hints. There will be echoes of questions that we will bring up about (Liz's) mother," said Elsendrath. "We will infuse the episodes with some of that, but a lot of the beginning is, 'What's happening now? How are they going to escape Ressler? Are they going to avoid capture?'"

Bokenkamp adds that "I understand that there's an appetite to want the whole truth. But the whole truth won't come until the end, and along the way, many breadcrumbs have been laid out. We're definitely working toward an endgame."

You can catch the season premiere of The Blacklist Thursday, Oct. 1st at 9/8c on NBC
