The Blacklist Season 11: James Spader Talks About The Show's Future




 The Blacklist has ten seasons filled with thrilling, amazing characters and tons of crime energy. And we loved it. Is season 11 too much to ask for then? James Spader has the answers for us.


The Blacklist has quickly become a fan favorite show throughout its long run-time. The mystery-ridden show has been going for more than a decade and fans are still craving more. So, how about The Blacklist season 11? Will it happen?


James Spader: "It would turn into a completely different show"


I'm going to pull that tooth right away: there won't be a season 11 of The Blacklist. James Spader has a pretty good explanation for that, though.

As hard as it is to say goodbye, Spader is not wrong in his assessment of why the show needs to end after season 10. As Red's actor and executive producer himself, he spoke to NBC about why The Blacklist ended with season 10.


I think if the show went beyond this year, it would turn into a very different show. Tonally the show shifts a lot from episode to episode, and I think that even the show has taken strange turns, and I suspect that the show, if it went much further, would just become something that would be less recognizable to me.

Honestly? Good call. We've already seen way too many shows that didn't know when they should end and continued on without any good stories to tell, burning out and leaving fans more bitter than anything. It's smart to end a show when audiences are still sad about it and not angry because the last season was basically unwatchable.
