Rest at easy Blocklist fans, as Raymond Reddington isn't done yet.
On Tuesday, NBC has announced that they've renewed The Blacklist for a ninth season.
The number ratings for the first three episodes have averaged 3.5 million and a 0.4 demo rating, which was down 19 and 28 percent from its seventh season average. But NBC reports that the first two episodes combined a 1.2 demo rating with the DVR payback and such factors.
Last week's winter premiere saw Liz attempting to kill Reddington for killing her mother. But Liz's plan didn't go so well, but her relationship with the FBI task force became damaged. This week's episode will have Liz on the top of the Blacklist while Red's health has taken a serious turn.
"Liz and Red are going to wat," executive producer John Eisendrath told TVLive after Liz's mother's murder. "The death of Katarina makes Liz more resolute than ever about getting answers to questions she's been asking for seven years. She's willing to burn every bridge and cross every line in search of the truth. Her solution, plus all she's learned from Red over the years about thinking like a criminal, makes her one of Red's most formidable adversaries."
Oh man, I'm celebrating tonight with red wine with this news. After seeing the single-day ratings for the last three episodes, I was worried, but I know that The Blacklist fans love this show and the DVR and downloads and streaming help the show stay alive.
I have loved this season so much. The first two episodes could have been a two-hour movie to set up season eight and last week's episode had me moving around as it was so intense.
