About "The Blacklist" TV Show
Since its premiere in 2013, "The Blacklist" has emerged as one of the leading dramas on television. Now in its second season, in February 2015, "The Blacklist" was selected to air in the premium time period behind the Super Bowl, the highest rated TV event of the year.

For decades, ex-government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader, "The Office," "Boston Legal") has been one of the FBI's Most Wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as "The Concierge of Crime." Mysteriously, Red surrendered to the FBI and now the FBI works with him as he identifies a "blacklist" of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all… with the caveat that Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone) continues to work as his partner. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal and "see the bigger picture"… whether she wants to or not. Also starring are Diego Klattenhoff ("Homeland"), Harry Lennix ("Man of Steel"), Amir Arison ("Girls") and Mozhan Marno ("House of Cards").

Jon Bokenkamp ("The Call," "Taking Lives"), John Eisendrath ("Alias"), John Davis ("Predator," "I, Robot," "Chronicle"), John Fox and Michael Watkins ("The X-Files") serve as executive producers. "The Blacklist" is a production of Sony Pictures Television and Davis Entertainment.

"The Blacklist" airs on NBC with up to 5 recent episodes available to view on demand on NBC OnDemand, NBC.com and Hulu.com. Season 1 is available on Netflix.
