The Blacklist Season 8 Story
Because of the coronavirus, NBC was unable to complete production on the final three episodes of The Blacklist season 7. Therefore, the series was able to build season 8 around the premise of unfinished business. While Raymond Reddington continues to provide the FBI with his patented insider’s list of criminals worth pursuing, Elizabeth Keen is actively working to take him down. What drives the conflict in The Blacklist season 8 is that Katarina Rostova is walking a fine line between helping Liz and making herself vulnerable. While she returned with information that might help her daughter, she also gave Reddington a trail to follow in tracking her down. In fact, in saving him after he collapsed, she may have missed her only chance to keep him from killing her. Keep an eye out for more about the Sikorsky Archive as well. Its mention in The Blacklist season 7 finale and before ensures its significance in the show’s mythology that goes back to the very beginning of the story.
