This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 62%. (I'm a bot)

NBC has given a 22-episode fifth-season pickup to its drama series The Blacklist, from Sony TV and Davis Entertainment.

Season to date, it's the third highest rated and most watched NBC scripted series behind This Is Us and Chicago Fire with a 2.1 adults 18-49 rating and 9.6 million viewers.

NBC tried to expand The Blacklist this season with spinoff The Blacklist: Redemption, which did not get traction and is not expected to continue.
