Starring James Spader as Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington, The Blacklist continues to reinvent the wheel in more ways than one, with its season 7 finale combining elements of live-action with graphic novel-style animation to enable the show to finish its current run in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Episode 19 is titled ‘The Kazanijan Brothers’ and was only partially finished when the coronavirus brought production to a halt, but the addition of animated sequences meant Spader and other series regulars like Megan Boone - who plays FBI agent and profiler Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Keen - could help see it completed by recording audio at home.
Going into the Blacklist season 7 finale, we now know that Red is alive - but that’s about the only certainty that’s left. His long-time ally Liz is very much doubting his trustworthiness and true identity, while his health is also in question - so animation is unlikely to be the only surprise viewers get in tonight’s big finale.
Ready to go? Here’s how to watch The Blacklist season 7 finale online and stream episode 19 for free no matter where you are in the world.
