Good news for Seven as NBC renews The Blacklist for a 22-episode order.
The Sony TV-produced series, which Seven acquired separately to its US outputs deal, is the No. 1 drama and the No. 2 scripted series on the big 4 networks in the 18-49 demo this fall.
It’s also NBC’s most watched new drama in 19 years, since Earth 2 in 1994.
Bucking the trend to cable television, NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt said, “The success of The Blacklist demonstrates that inspired storytelling is alive and well in broadcast television, and I’m impressed on a daily basis by this creative team’s imagination and the extent to which they will go to capture this grand vision on film.
“With gratitude to both our partners at Sony Pictures Television and our NBC development executives who took a great script and shepherded it into a great series, I hope that Red Reddington never runs out of names to bring down on his list!”

Love the blacklist, its been an awesome, so happy it got renewed
As far fetched as it is, I absolutely love this show. I also love Scandal, which was scheduled to be on tonight at 9.30, now replaced with Fast & Furious 🙁
Glad that the Blacklist has been renewed, great show, great actors, cant wait for next year.
Maybe ch7 will start using the right name now?
Loved him in Boston Legal. Love him more in this show.
Totally addicted to this show. Great ….
Great to hear.My fave new show
Seven will be happy. They can get two seasons out of those 22 eps.
Seven dropped their Universal/NBC output deal when it was up for renewal.
But they took up and output deal with Sony. It is not an exclusive deal. According to an unnamed source in the Australian it entitles them to pick some movies for Saturday nights plus 5 TV shows (and they only have to pay if they last 8 weeks on US network TV).
Given that only a few dramas rate anymore and the last two seasons of Fall shows from the US have been awful, such deals are more likely.
@ David, according to the official Facebook page, “The Blacklist” has been renewed for a full 22-episode second season.
Not really surprising considering it’s success. It’s a great show, would have been surprising if it wasn’t renewed.
