It seems that NBC has been hitting the success button with spinoff shows, take example the Chicago series (Fire, PD, Med and soon to be Justice). Now the Peacock network is looking into The Blacklist for another show.
TVLine is reporting that NBC "is developing a spinoff of The Blacklist," that will have Famke Janssen (How to Get Away with Murder) as the lead role.
The backdoor pilot episode is set to air May 12th as Janssen will play Susan "Scottie" Halsted, who'll be introduced into the show a week earlier, May 5th.
There's a rumor that Blacklist regular Ryan Eggold would have a major role in the project, that gives Tom and Scottie's relationship just like Liz and Red's relationship dynamic.
TVLine says that a source "stresses that there is currently no series commitment for the spinoff "and "a decision will likely be made in May."
In addition to the spinoff news, TVLine has learned that Edi Gathegi, who plays Mr Solomon in the series, has closed a deal to co-star in the spinoff.
As a viewer and a fan of The Blacklist, this does seem interesting but also a bit scary to see a spinoff come from this show. How different would it be from the original series is something tough to get off.
Nothing is set in stone or in contract so let's just see where these two episodes will go.
You can catch The Blacklist as the show returns Thursday, April 7th at 9/8c with a wedding that can't be missed.
