How willThe Blacklist continue without Elizabeth Keen? Thats the question for Season 9 apparently.
Megan Boone, who has starred on the NBC drama since it premiered in 2013, is exiting as a series regular at the end of the current eighth season,Deadline reports. [The finale airs June 23.] Fortunately for fans, this wasnt a surprise and Liz will be getting a proper exit storyline. This news also comes as Liz spent some time this season as a fugitive while Boone was missing from a significant portion of the episodes. She resurfaced in the April 23 show.
The Blacklist Penultimate Episode Answers 8 Years Worth of Questions
There are only two episodes left of the season, Nachalo [The Beginning in Russian] and Konets [The Ending], so fans may very well get a taste of howThe Blacklist will say goodbye to Liz starting with the former on June 16. Heading into these episodes, Raymond Reddington [James Spader] has told Liz hes the elusive spy shes been hunting, N-13, and now hes taking her to Latvia with the promise of the answers shes been seeking the Blacklist.
These last two episodes are really sort of companion pieces, series creator Jon Bokenkamp told TV Insider. [With] the next episode, Nachalo, were going to go back to the very beginning and unpack answers to eight years worth of questions.
The finale very much is an ending, he continued. It may not be the ending of the series, but its very much the ending of a story weve been telling for eight years. That story, we now know, is at least partly about Liz.
Sony Pictures Television
Well have to tune in to see howThe Blacklist is going to continue on without Lizand Boone. After all, with Boone leaving, the only original cast members [presumably] continuing on for Season 9 are Spader,Diego Klattenhoff [Donald Ressler], and Harry Lennix [Harold Cooper].
