A First Look at NBC’s New Spin-Off Series The Blacklist: Redemption

New Blacklist spinoff series The Blacklist:Redemption kicks off on Thursday, Feb. 23, and offers the perfect gender-swapped antidote to any Blacklist hiatus blues you may have over the 8 weeks Red and Liz are missing from our Thursday night lineup.

So what can fans expect? Well, in place of Reddington and Keane, we’ve got Tom (Blacklist staple Ryan Eggold) and Susan “Scottie” Hargrave (Famke Janssen), taking on “problems governments don’t dare touch,” according to the log lines for the new series.

Fans can also expect to see some familiar Blacklisters making a regular appearances (hello Soloman!), including the rumored limited addition of James Spader’s Red at some point.

Loglines, a teaser trailer, synopsis from the first episode “Leland Bray,” and first look photography should give you some further pointers on what you can expect below.

In this thrilling new spinoff, the world’s most elusive criminals from Red’s infamous list come together to form an elite mercenary team as they try to regain their self-worth after a lifetime of inflicting damage on the world.

Seeking redemption for their past transgressions, this new group solves problems governments don’t dare touch. Blacklist undercover operative Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) joins the team’s brilliant and cunning chief, Susan “Scottie” Hargrave (Famke Janssen), as well as lethal assassin and Tom nemesis Matias Solomon (Edi Gathegi), as they aim to be a force for good and right dangerous wrongs.

Along with highly skilled members Nez Rowan (Tawny Cypress) and hacker Dumont (Adrian Martinez), they will undertake seemingly impossible missions – all in the hopes of repairing their damaged souls.

Episode 1×01 “Leland Bray”

A routine trip to New York turns dangerous when ex-operative Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) is recruited by Scottie Hargrave (Famke Janssen), the head of an international security firm, to help rescue a kidnapped CIA agent.
