Sky Living has announced the UK premiere of The Blacklist, the high-stakes thriller starring James Spader as the enigmatic criminal mastermind Raymond “Red” Reddington. The series will debut in October and promises fast-paced action with complex character drama.
The show begins with Reddington surrendering to the FBI, offering to help capture some of the world’s most dangerous criminals under one condition: he works exclusively with rookie profiler Elizabeth Keen. The reason behind his interest in her forms one of the show’s central mysteries.
Each episode explores a new target from Reddington’s blacklist, a secret catalog of criminals the FBI didn’t even know existed. With his insider knowledge and manipulative genius, Red guides the team through global conspiracies and deadly plots.
James Spader’s performance as the charming yet dangerous Red is a major draw, bringing gravitas and unpredictability to every scene. The relationship between Red and Elizabeth drives much of the intrigue.
Sky Living’s acquisition adds a bold and cerebral thriller to its lineup, perfect for fans of suspense and psychological drama.
