The Blacklist: Redemption‘s survival hopes will receive a helping hand from The Blacklist. EP Jon Bokenkamp confirms the two shows, which “share a lot of DNA,” will indeed crossover, per EW:
Yes, there [will be crossovers]. It’s a little bit of an extension, there’s a little bit of a hand-off that takes place, but it’s not something that anybody who hasn’t seen The Blacklist — it’s not a barrier to entry. It starts almost like any pilot would. Because our 15th episode was so real-time and was all about saving Red [after he’s poisoned], it felt silly to go off and pontificate about Tom and his backstory. It didn’t feel like we needed it, because we ignite that story just moments after this 15th episode ends. But there is the potential for, and we do do some crossover in that show, and we’re still figuring that out. To me, they’re sort of part of the same landscape. They share a lot of DNA.
Will The Blacklist: Redemption score a multi-season run like the mothership series? Stay tuned…
