The Blacklist: Redemption

Tom Keen, a former covert operative, teams up with Susan Hargrave, known as Scottie, the sharp minded head of a private mercenary outfit that handles missions too dangerous for the government. The duo moves through a shadowy network of operatives, demanding assignments, and ambiguous loyalties, with Keen's deep personal history tugging at every decision. On screen, the partnership between the intense, calculating Hargrave and the wary, capable Keen generates a tense dynamic that propels the story. The cast also features Famke Janssen as Hargrave, Ryan Eggold as Keen, and a supporting group including Edi Gathegi, Tawny Cypress, and Adrian Martinez. The tone sits at the crossroads of crime drama and thriller, with high stakes and moral complexity, for a more perilous ride.

Released in 2017 as a spin off of The Blacklist, The Blacklist: Redemption follows Tom Keen and Scottie Hargrave. The series features a rotating slate of directors and was developed by Jon Bokenkamp and John Eisendrath, expanding the franchise.

Critics described the show as tense with a moral edge, though some felt it didn't fully stand on its own as a spin off. It examines power and loyalty, the costs of private security, and how personal motives shape choices under pressure. These themes echo throughout other modern thrillers.

As part of The Blacklist universe, Redemption expanded the franchise by exploring a different angle on secrecy and private intervention. It sparked conversations among fans about loyalties across rival organizations and the ethics of mercenary work, contributing to discussions about where fiction ends and real world issues begin today.

Awards: The Blacklist: Redemption did not receive major nominations from the Oscars, Emmys, or Golden Globes, and there are no notable wins on record. The show found an audience among fans of the wider Blacklist world, but did not achieve widely recognized award recognition.
