This Monday, the biggest success of last season, NBC’s The Blacklist, will make its triumphant return in all its James Spader-y glory. Throughout the course of the series’ freshman season, we were enthralled with the adventures of Red Reddington, and every episode, even the weak ones, was an opportunity to watch Spader do something he does best: act. The man is a tour de force in the craft, and The Blacklist his shining gift to the world at large. Now, with the clock to season two approaching midnight, NBC has finally released a full length trailer with all new footage to get us back in the groove for season two:
So much of the show’s second season appears to be focused on one mystery: who is the mysterious Berlin, and what is his relationship to Red? We got some possible answers in the final episode of season one, and these clips certainly paint a picture that supports the daughter narrative, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned about this series, it’s that the things we suspect are often far more complicated than they seem (father/daughter bonding. anyone?).
In the end, what this trailer boils down to is a promise that season two is going to ramp the series up to eleven, and considering the show has the coveted post-Super Bowl slot this year – which Joe Carnahan is writing and directing, we might add – there’s no doubt that promise is going to be fulfilled in full.
Will you be checking out the new season of The Blacklist? Let us know in the comments below.
I can’t wait either.
I absolutely love how everything is written so intelligently and the plots are intriguing and sucks you right in. Masterfully played how the characters interact with one another and yet struggle against each other. Brilliant.
Love this show and Spader is what makes it great!
We couldn’t get enough Last Season…..James Spader Is the best at playing his Character…..Can’t wait until Monday Night…..Couldn’t ask for a Better Birthday Night.
I can’t wait I’ve got my DVR set & I’m going to be watching it too!!!!
They just filmed a Blacklist Bank scene close to my neighborhood! I can’t wait for S2! I am a fan!
Yes , yes , Indeed 🙂
The RED tide is coming
Show’s great. Spader’s great. But the comment-worthy item is the writing of this review: refreshingly honest, and doesn’t sound like it was written by the Show-runners. Nice job, Reviewer!
Hands down the best show on TV last season and from the looks of it…will be this season also
Can’t wait to see Red and Lizzy again.
have loved Spader for years, will always follow him.
wouldn’t miss it, have loved Spader for years.
To have James Spader back on a series is like Christmas every week! The excitement he brings
LOVE this show! And SO glad it’s on Hulu. I’d never be able to watch it any other way.
Oh! WHY do they make “Lizzie” wear that horrible wig!??? It’s a constant distraction for me.
Right!!??? Her hair is the one thing im always looking at wishing they would change. Not natural looking especially for her age
Word is the wig will be gone at some point during S2
I love the Blacklist!! never missed an episode last season..won’t miss one this season..can’t wait
Just wish it wasn’t on at the same time as Castle.
Both are on hulu.com 🙂
I completely agree. Don’t make 2 great shows compete! There aren’t enough of them
Wish you would have a marathon this weekend, it’s been so long I could use a little refresher!
