The Blacklist’s combination of twist-filled scripts, fast-paced direction, and splendid performances has kept it going as strong today as it did when it first dropped on 2013, so it’s not shocking that NBC renewed the crime spine chiller for another season.
Here’s everything we know so far about Blacklist season 10.
The Blacklist season 10 plot
In spite of the reason for the season being kept under wraps for time being, the season 9 finale gave fans a very smart idea of the direction it will take.
Towards the ending of the season, we found that Red’s apparently faithful advisor Marvin Gerard (Fisher Stevens) was the one liable for the demise of his beloved Elizabeth (Megan Boone).
In any case, even in the wake of being exposed and his subsequent death, he left one last parting gift, much to the detriment of Red.
While encountering him in jail, Marvin told Wujing (Chin Han), one of the absolute first Blacklisters from season 1, that he was caught because Red and the FBI were working together, prior to handing him a list of others Red helped put away.
So Presently, Wujing is out for vengeance, armed with a list of other Blacklisters whom he intends to recruit to chase down and take out Red with him.
Just as Red’s quest for vengeance reaches a conclusion, it seems like he’ll be on the receiving it come season 10.
The Blacklist season 10 cast
However nobody has been affirmed as of August 2022, we would, obviously, expect its star/executive producer James Spader to come back as criminal mastermind-turned-supergrass analyst Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington.
As for the other key players, we’d likewise expect Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff), Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix) and Dembe Zuma (Hisham Tawfiq) to all make a return.
Two significant cast members who unfortunately will not be returning for the next installment are Amir Arison, who appeared as FBI Special Agent Aram Mojtabai in the very 1st season of the show, and Laura Sohn, who joined in season 6 as FBI agent Alina Park (via Deadline).
The Blacklist season 10 release date
In an interaction with Westchester County Tourism & Film, The Blacklist’s location manager Tom Scutro shared, “It’s been a great run. It’s hard to believe this all started in 2013. I’ve worked on the show since we started, except for the pilot episode. We’re thrilled to be returning for the 10th season, which we’ll start filming after Labor Day.”
Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday in September (the 5th, in 2022), which is around the same time production for season 9 started last year.
The Blacklist tends to film episodes and drop them simultaneously, so on the off chance that the production pattern stands, we could be seeing the 1st episode of season 10 this October.
