The Blacklist missed out on a fall launch for the first time in its five-year history, but NBC has confirmed when fans can expect the sixth season of the drama series to get underway.
It will launch with a two-hour special on Friday, January 4, 2019, at 8/7c before settling into the 9/8c time period the following week.
Yes, The Blacklist Fanatics, the series is making the movie to the lower-rated Friday nights. In the past, such a move has been seen as the death knell for a show, but it could be a sign that NBC believes in the series.
Since its launch, it has been a magnet for delayed viewing, but the on-air ratings have softened considerably.
