Is The Blacklist Season 9 Coming Out?

Yes, it is. The show was renewed for another potential season just three episodes into the eighth season. The renewal of the ninth season comes amid the coronavirus pandemic situation that continues stimulating the cancellation or postponing of new series/seasons at a time when pilots are pouring on screen.

Despite relatively low ratings of season 8, creators have given Blacklist another renewal so early which is a rare occurrence. It seems like as long as Spader is willing to reprise the role, the Blacklist will continue.

When Will The Blacklist Season 9 Release?

Considering the current pandemic situation and the early renewal announcement of season 9, we can’t speculate when will the season be released. The previous pattern has also not been steady to predict the future season’s date since the first five were released in September October.

The sixth was released in January, the Seventh in October while the eighth in November. So, let us hope that the pandemic situation clears and the production of the 9th season starts soon after the eighth is over.

What plot can we expect from the 9th Season?

Currently, three episodes of season 8 have been on air; hence, it wholly lies upon how the season 8 plot turns out. As of yet, in season 8, Liz has been planning to take revenge on Red and Red gets to know about it by the end of episode three. What will be the outcome of it? Fans have to go through season eight to know it. It is predicted that Elizabeth may survive since the ninth season is underway.
