The Blacklist: Redemption is an American crime thriller television series and is a spin-off from the NBC series The Blacklist. It stars Famke Janssen as Susan Scott "Scottie" Hargrave, president of Halcyon Aegis, a private military company with teams of corporate operatives, and Ryan Eggold as Tom Keen, a character from the original series. After airing a backdoor pilot in the form of an episode of The Blacklist, the new series was ordered by NBC on May 14, 2016. The series premiered on February 23, 2017, and concluded on April 13, 2017 after eight episodes.
In March 2016, NBC began developing a spin-off series created by The Blacklist creator Jon Bokenkamp and showrunner John Eisendrath, who would both executive produce with John Davis and John Fox, the rest of their team from the original series. The project would star Famke Janssen as Susan "Scottie" Hargrave and Ryan Eggold reprising his role as Tom Keen, and was conceived to highlight a similar dynamic between Scottie and Tom to what Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) has to Liz Keen (Megan Boone) on The Blacklist. Additionally, Janssen would first appear in the role on The Blacklist episode "Susan Hargrave" in May 2016, with the following episode, "Alexander Kirk", serving as a backdoor pilot for the potential series. The new series, named The Blacklist: Redemption, was ordered on May 14, 2016. In October 2016, David Amann was named the series' showrunner and executive producer.
Along with the announcement in March 2016 of Janssen as Hargrave, and Eggold reprising his role as Tom Keen, was the reveal that Edi Gathegi would reprise his Blacklist role as Matias Solomon as a series regular.Tawny Cypress also joined the cast as Nez Rowan, and was introduced on The Blacklist before appearing in the spin-off. The following July, it was announced that Adrian Martinez would be a series regular as Dumont, after previously guest-starring on The Blacklist.
