The Blacklist Plot and Cast
In the finale of Season 9, we got a hint as to what The Blacklist Season 10 could be about. The murderer of Liz Keen is dead and now, we expect the series to move past Raymond Reddington’s quest for revenge. Marvin Gerard, who was in prison, briefly ran into Wujing, aka no. 84 on the blacklist and the latter said that he is serving life without the possibility of parole.
Wujing has a plan to escape but for that, he needs to get into the courthouse and he has no reason to get a hearing from the judge. Marvin gives him the reason he desperately needs. After release from prison, Marvin shoots and kills himself, but before his death, he tells Wujing that Red is the reason why they are all in the prison. Wujing successfully escapes from the prison and decides to kill Raymond Reddington, with the help of all criminals who have been wronged by Red. In the next season, we’ll see Wujing and other criminals going after Red and planning to kill him.
The expected casts for the upcoming season include James Spader, Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Amir Arison and more.
