Premiering on Tuesday 23 September, The Blacklist returns to follow the exploits of James Spader’s (Boston Legal) criminal mastermind Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington. Last season, he turned himself in and began helping the FBI eradicate his ‘blacklist’ of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists, under the condition that he works only with rookie FBI agent Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Keen (Megan Boone, Law & Order: Los Angeles).

In the new season, Red lives with the threat that enigmatic antagonist Berlin (Peter Stormare, Fargo) remains at large. The relationship between Red and Liz continues to grow, although their actual ties remain a question, while Liz moves on from her unravelling relationship with husband Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold, 90210) whose fate remains a mystery. Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds) joins the cast as Naomi Highland, a character inextricably linked to Red.
