Season 9 Of The Blacklist Reveals A Significant Time Jump.
The FBI task group has disbanded in the aftermath of Liz’s disappearance, and the whereabouts of the show’s enigmatic Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington is unknown.
“Finding themselves at a crossroads,” the official synopsis reads, “a shared cause forces them to restart their original mission: to hunt down dangerous, nasty, and quirky Blacklisters.”
“In the process, they unearth lethal adversaries, unbelievable plots, and shocking betrayals that will jeopardize alliances and inspire retribution for the past, lead by the most crafty criminal of them all — Raymond Reddington.”
The Blacklist premieres on NBC in the United States on October 21. In the United Kingdom, the show is broadcast on Sky Max.

Who’s In The Cast Of The Blacklist Season 9?=
Megan Boone will not be in the show, which is big news. During a powwow with Red (James Spader) in the season-eight finale, her character, Liz, was shot by one of Neville Townsend’s henchmen and bled out.
“This experience has been a whole life within my own life for me,” Boone wrote on Instagram. “As she set out to achieve, these eight years playing Liz Keen have helped me better define the world and myself… As her narrative comes to a close, I’m happy for the people I got to spend this time with: my fellow cast members, both current and former, our wonderful crew, who made every day a success for everyone involved, and those of you who were amused.”
That choice was “made early on” and “mutual,” according to Deadline. Boone reportedly left to concentrate on other projects, according to a number of media.
Another well-known figure has also departed. Jon Bokenkamp, the creator of The Blacklist, has moved on to other pastures.

He wrote on social media, “I wanted to write you directly to let you know that I’ve taken the painful decision to leave The Blacklist.” “I love this show with all of my heart, and it’s been a fantastic ride, but after eight years, I think it’s time for me to go out, try something new, and explore some of the other characters and storylines that have been circling in my mind.”
