Three-time Emmy® winner James Spader (“The Practice,” “Boston Legal”) leads the cast as Raymond “Red” Reddington in this action-packed crime series. Picking up where season one left off, The Blacklist continues to uncover even more corruption. Red and Agent Keen, played by Megan Boone (“Law & Order: Los Angeles”), continue to work together in order to uncover the truth behind some of the largest known criminals in the world.

Synopsis
For decades, ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader, TV’s “The Office,” “Boston Legal”) has been one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives. Last season, he mysteriously surrendered to the FBI but now the FBI works for him as he identifies a “blacklist” of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all…with the caveat that Elizabeth “Liz” Keen (Megan Boone, TV’s “Law & Order: Los Angeles”) continues to work with him. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal and “see the bigger picture” …whether she wants to or not.
