The Blacklist During The pandemic
The series also made a remarkable move during the start of the pandemic in 2020, as they turned the final episode of the seventh season into animation after a production shutdown.

He continued, “It was not a great idea, but it was an idea born out of desperation and maybe that’s where some of the good ideas come from.”
Clark Middleton, who played the recurring character Glen Carter, also passed away the same year due to complications from the West Nile virus.
James Spader posted a tribute on his Instagram shortly after Carter’s death: “RIP Middleton. ‘Glen’ will be forever in our hearts. #clarkmiddleton #nbc #theblacklist.”
The Blacklist is a highly-rated American crime series, with a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
