Will NBC cancel or renew The Blacklistfor season nine? Its seemed like The Blacklist might be in its final year for a while but the show keeps going. The ratings are low but the series gained some viewers last year. I suspect that the series will continue as long as Spader wants to keep making it and as long as Sony Pictures Television [which produces the series] can make a financial deal with NBC that suits both sides.
