How to watch season 9 of The Blacklist online from anywhere

Publish date: 2023-03-02

Following a shocking season 8 finale, NBC's long-running crime drama The Blacklist is back with all new episodes and we have all the details on how you can watch season 9 of the show on TV or online.

The Blacklist, which first premiered in 2013, tells the story of Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) who became a high-profile criminal following his disappearance while working as U.S. Naval Intelligence officer. Twenty years later, Red voluntarily surrenders himself to the FBI after eluding capture for decades.

After revealing that he has compiled a list of the world's most dangerous criminals called the blacklist and will inform on their operations in exchange for immunity, Red tells the Assistant Director of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix) that he has one condition. Red will only cooperate with the FBI if he is able to work exclusively with rookie FBI profiler Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone).

As the show's season 8 finale left viewers shocked, NBC is doing things a bit differently with season 9 which will jump forward two years. Following the events of season 8 which saw actress Megan Boone exit the series, Red's whereabouts are unknown and the FBI task force that was in charge of hunting down members of the blacklist has been disbanded. In addition to Boone, the show's creator Jon Bokenkamp also left after eight years, so The Blacklist may end up being a bit different this season.

Whether you've been eagerly awaiting the release of new episodes of the show or want to see what role Law & Order Organized Crime's Diany Rodriguez will play in season 9, we'll show you exactly how to watch The Blacklist from anywhere in the world.
