Why james spader is leaving

It changes in context. Red barely escaped his brush with mortality, and The Blacklist is still toying with his proximity to the grave.

Season 7 has gradually revealed the high stakes of what is an apparent health crisis for Red. It is not good! Red seems to be sick with something , and he has sworn Ressler to secrecy.

When The Blacklist returns, its creator Jon Bokenkamp has teased the show returning to its more comic tone. On what has excited him about The Blacklist over its seven seasons, Spader said:. The show has been so exciting for me over the years because it really does vacillate in tone, and the show is able to be very, very dark, but at the same time, at turns be quite irreverent, and sometimes, you know, just fun. Last year the episode with Stacy Keach was really fun, and I think this season will be like that as well.

I also enjoyed that episode with Stacy Keach! As Spader said, it was a fun one, that was a welcome breather after all of the drama of Red nearly dying. It sounds like The Blacklist will be having a lot more fun when it resumes Season 7. Hopefully she will bring some clarity to his secret past now that viewers know he is not Ilya Koslov! A premiere date for Season 7 to resume has not been announced yet, so stay tuned.

Like a contented Hallmark movie character, Britt happily lives in the same city she grew up in. Knowing that his death would leave Liz vulnerable, Reddington organises a plan that would see her protected even after his death. Perhaps she would have mustered up the courage to shoot Red eventually but before she can, a gunshot rings out but not from her weapon.

Red wastes no time in dispatching the henchmen before comforting Liz as she dies in his arms, her life flashing before her as she passes, never knowing what was in the letter that Red promised to give her. Will season 9 see him looking to find a new successor to his empire now Liz is gone and his death looms ever closer? Or perhaps his illness is simply a ruse? And I thought, 'What a great trick that is' — to retain a certain enigmatic aspect.

The premise was perfectly suited to go in any direction and somehow find its way back on track again. This likely means his schedule is wide open for more Blacklist!

There has been no news or reports about year-old James Spader being sick. The actor seems to be in good health and probably getting ready to start filming Season 9 of The Blacklist soon.
