A couple of weeks ago there was word that a spinoff of The Blacklist was in the works in an episode in May. With Famke Janssen getting the lead actress role now Ryan Eggold is officially in as the lead role.
Deadline.com reports that Eggold "has closed a deal to play the male lead." He'll be reprising his role as the covert op Tom Keen aka Jacob Philips.
If the spinoff is a go, Eggold will be the star of the series of the new series with possible crossover appearances on The Blacklist. But if it's not a go than Eggold will stay on the The Blacklist, resuming his duties as a regular.
The backdrop episode will air on May 12th and it will be written by creator/executive producer Joe Bokenkamp and executive producer/showrunner John Eisendrath.
For what's being heard, the spinoff will be focus on the relationship between Susan "Scottie" Halsted (Janssen) and Tom (Eggold), which are to be alike of Raymond "Red" Reddington and Liz Keen, with Scottie as Tom's handler.
In the spinoff, Jessen and Eggold are being joined by The Blacklist recurring player Edi Gathegi and a new character Tawny Cypress.
The spinoff is created by Bokenkamp and Eisendrath and produced by The Blacklist producers of John Fox and John Davis.
The Blacklist returns this Thursday at 9/8c on NBC, with a can't miss episode that will have you on hyper drive.
