This article says fall of 2020: The Blacklist Cancelled or Renewed? - TV ScorecardsJust read some speculation about season 8 starting until 2021, maybe even in mid - 2021
I read that all the Dick Wolf shows, if not finished filming for the season, won't.Well, Friday March 20th, despite coronavirus and all, Red and Kat and Liz return to the screen.
The coronavirus is no threat and no match for Red and Kat, actually I think the coronavirus should be very afraid of Red and Katerina.
They also said that shows that usually have 22 episodes are being cut back to 20.I read that all the Dick Wolf shows, if not finished filming for the season, won't.
Thanks for the update. I just checked my programming guide on Dish and they have it as one also.So, because of the current situation, The Blacklist will only air 1 episode this Friday, instead of the 2 episodes originally scheduled for March 20,
I haven't read of cutting back episodes for TBL, like what will happen with other series (NBC's New Amsterdam one of my faves would be one affected), I guess it makes sense considering TBL had a 3 and a half month winter break, and that could mean they already had the remainder of episodes for this season already filmed.
So, just a reminder only 1 episode for March 20.
Just read at TVLine Blacklist only has 18 of 22 episodes done. Probably it for this season.
I heard a podcast interview with Hisham Tawfiq (Dembe) about 2 months ago. saying they finished season 7. (before they announced season 8)Just read at TVLine Blacklist only has 18 of 22 episodes done. Probably it for this season.
Dembe only teased the ending of season 7 during the interview. The Blacklist Exposed confirms they had only filmed up to #18. I apologize for my mistake.
I don't get the Batwoman hype either. I read that they have big plans for her including 22 episodes on HBO Max starting in September.I'm going over TVLine's list of impacted or not tv shows.
Some of the tv shows impacted and shortened, I couldn't care less, (such as Batwoman, for example)
But in my case, this one - The Blacklist- really hurts, and I insist and rant here.
Why would NBC decide to send The Blacklist on a 3 and half month winter break, making it again an irregular season? Previous season if my memory serves me right started not in September but in January,
now, we didn't have it for almost 4 months,
and now... we won't get the last 4 episodes.

That TVLine list is very helpful. Here's the direct link: Coronavirus Interrupts TV: Which Seasons Will Be Shortened?
It looks like for me only The Blacklist is impacted. Could be worse. Shame how many shows were one to two episodes away from completing the filming/production of their current season.
