When Megan Boone left the show, fans wondered if that pointed to the departure of James Spader as well. Recall, he worked closely with the profiler and wouldn’t work with anyone else. Fans already started speculating about that back in July this year. Ironically, at the time, fans felt that the show was expected to pick up right from where it ended in Season 8. Actually, so far nothing untoward like ridiculous time jumps or miraculous resurrections happened in the past.

The Blacklist Season 9 Spoilers next suggested that the dreaded time-skip would probably happen after all. In September, spoilers came along that The FBI task force that Elizabeth Keen worked with has been disbanded. Not only that, the new central character, Reddington, went missing and nobody seems to know his whereabouts. Well, the synopsis strongly hinted at time jumps. It read, “They begin to uncover lethal adversaries, unimaginable conspiracies and surprising betrayals that will threaten alliances and spur vengeance for the past, led by the most devious criminal of them all – Raymond Reddington.”

In the promo for the show, Cartermatt noticed that right near the end, Raymond Reddington was totally bald. Well, a bald Raymond is better than no Raymond as fans always hate it when characters leave. A plausible theory on social media suggests that his baldness relates to his illnesses in the past. However, other alternatives suggest he goes deep undercover and his storyline involves being incognito. Of course, he might have shed something if his old persona with the departure of Liz Keen.

The Blacklist Season 9 brought other cast news as well. NBC fans heard that Diego Klattenshoff reprises his role as Agent Ressler. Meanwhile, Amir Arison returns as Aram Mojtabai. You’ll also see Harry Lennix as Harold Cooper, Laura Sohn as Agent Park, and Hisham Tawfiq as Dembe.
