List of episodes

The sixth season of the American crime thriller television series The Blacklist premiered on NBC on Thursday, January 3, 2019 at 10:00 PM, followed by its time slot premiere on Friday, January 4 at 9:00 PM.[1] The season contained 22 episodes and concluded on May 17 the same year.[2] Early episode reviews noted that the sixth season was more serialized than previous ones, focusing more on the stories of its main characters and the emotional fallout of recent events.[3][4]

The series continues to be produced by Davis Entertainment, Universal Television and Sony Pictures Television, and executive produced by Jon Bokenkamp, John Davis, John Eisendrath, John Fox, and Joe Carnahan.

Overview

The sixth season builds on the story line revealed in the fifth season finale, which showed that the real Raymond Reddington was already dead and that the man claiming to be him (James Spader) was an impostor.[3] The two-part season premiere explored two characters who are crucial in this narrative: Dr. Hans Koehler (Kenneth Tigar), a master of facial reconstruction and Bastien Moreau or The Corsican (Christopher Lambert). Elizabeth Keen begins digging into the mysteries of Reddington's lie.[5] The season begins to unravel the mystery who the fake Reddington really is and whether the remains of the real Reddington found in the past season are those of Keen's real father.[6] During the season, Raymond, Elizabeth and FBI Task Force are faced with conspiracy which threatens to destroy them forever. A new series antagonist is an U. S. Assistant Attorney General and presidential advisor (Jennifer Ferrin), who is the major architect of conspiracy and works with another person in their nefarious criminal scheme.
