Meera Malik (played by Parminder Nagra) was in the CIA in the first season of The Blacklist, and she worked closely with Reddington (played by James Spader). She was killed in the finale of the first season by one of Berlin’s men. Berlin was one of the Blacklisters of that season, and his name was Milos Kirchoff (played by Peter Stormare).
Now, in the final season, we have Meera’s daughter as an MI6 operative who will work with the task force. MI6 is the UK’s intelligence service. It’s a counterpart of the CIA, which Siya’s mother is part of. What a way to circle back from the roots of the earlier seasons. Since Siya Malik is MI6, we may expect international Blacklisters this coming final season.
This is not the first time that the task force worked with an international intelligence officer. They previously worked with Samar Navabi (played by Mozhan Marnò) shortly after Meera died. Samar was part of Mossad, the national intelligence agency of Israel. Samar left the series in season 6.

It was revealed that Siya knows Cooper runs an operation, which is the task force. And this eventually made Dembe and Ressler conclude that Meera used to work for the task force without their knowledge, as she was closely working with Reddington. Reddington has a history of keeping secrets from the task force as well.
The Blacklist Spoilers – The Final Season
The final season still follows the journey of Raymond Reddington and the secret task force that takes down a lot of blacklisters. The list is provided by Reddington.
Initially, Reddington was among the top most wanted fugitives by the FBI. But then he made a deal that he will provide names of some of the most wanted fugitives as well, and in return, he will be free.
The FBI agreed to this arrangement that’s why the secret task force was created. In the eyes of the public, Reddington remains a fugitive. But Reddington is acting as some sort of an informant for the government. Though this did not stop him from doing a lot of bad stuff, he still manages to give the FBI a lot of information from his list.
