It looks like The Blacklist will have more names to cross off its list.
On Thursday, TVLine has learned that the NBC drama has been renewed for Season 8.
"Congratulations to our incredible cast, producers, and crew, all of whom continue to reach excellence week in a week out," Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming at NBC Entertainment, said in a statement. "WE couldn't be more excited to continue Red and Liz's story into Season 8."
The Blacklist, which debuted in September o 2013, stars James Spader as the wanted criminal Raymond Reddington and Megan Boone as FBI profile Li keen, with whom Red has a complicated personal relationship. Throughout Liz's search for answers about ed's real identity, Red has assisted the FBI with tracking down dangerous and elusive criminals. Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Amir Arison and Hisham Tawfiq round out the main cast.
The show is currently in season seven, which will resume Friday, March 20th. In the December's fall finale, Liz's biological mother faked her own death and formed an unexpected alliance with Liz, which neither woman plans to reveal to Red when the show returns.
"At this point, (Li) thinks Katarina may offer her a greater chance of finding out the truth that it seems Red won't share with her," executive producer John Eisendrath told TVLive at the time." But she certainly is not fully trusting of Katarina at this point, so as the season goes on, there will be choices that she'll have to make whether to say aligned with her mother, or whether to be more sympathetic towards Red's point of view."
When the series will also welcome Nip/Tuck alum Joely Richardson for an "intense" season 7 episode, in which she'll play Red's former flame Cassandra Bianchi.
You can catch The Blacklist returning Friday, Mach 20th at 8/7c on NBC.
