The Blacklist: Redemption is an American crime thriller television series that is a spin-off from the NBC series The Blacklist. It stars Famke Janssen as Susan Scott "Scottie" Hargrave, president of Halcyon Aegis, a private military company with teams of corporate operatives, and Ryan Eggold as Tom Keen, a character from the original series. After airing a backdoor pilot in the form of an episode of The Blacklist, the new series was ordered by NBC on May 14, 2016.The show starts when Tom makes the decision to go to New York and discuss what will happen to Howard Hargrave's estate after learning that Hargrave is his biological father. However, Howard informs him that he's still alive and he created false information so that the public still believes that he died from a plane crash. Tom joins HA on his father's request, starting with a mission to save a CIA agent who had been kidnapped.The series premiered on February 23, 2017 and aired until April 13, 2017 with a total of eight episodes. It's not renewed for another season, which brought Ryan back to the Blacklist.The character page is found here.

comment
Punch-Clock Villain: Matias Solomon worked for the Cabal then switched to work for Halcyon Aegis. While sadistic and ruthless, he doesn't really care about his targets and only works for a paycheck. All of the team can technically qualify as none of them really care about who their employers are but Tom. Played with using Tom as the Token Good Teammate and Solomon as the Token Evil Teammate.

Downer Ending
 The Blacklist: Redemption / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: The second episode, "Kevin Jackson", showed the series wouldn't shy away from the team outright failing. In this case, they not only failed to save the titular character but it was revealed he was a CIA agent all along rather than a journalist. In effect, making all of the government's charges against him legitimate. Worse, the "human rights abuse" stories he was working on was actually just intelligence for the US military.

Spy Fiction: Dirty Martini variant. Is a Lighter and Softer setting than The Blacklist with a lot of glamorous locations, competence porn, and more spy-related activities than horrific criminals. The fact it's more Grey-and-Grey Morality with Punch-Clock Villain protagonists keeps it from being too cheerful, though.

Artistic License – Military: Halcyon Aegis performs military operations in America, England, and everywhere else without regard to international law. This doesn't in any way reflect the actual laws restricting the use of mercenaries in the real world. It was explained in their Backdoor Pilot of The Blacklist that they were doing all manner of illegal things for whoever employs them with protection from them as a favor in return.

Mistaken for Racist: Invoked in "Operation Davenport" when Tom and Solomon need to convince two police officers that a 911 call was a false alarm. Tom pretends to be the guy who made the call and Solomon pretends to be a black plumber. Tom makes it look like he saw a strange black man and called 911. Solomon feigns offense at this and accuses Tom and the cops of being racist and assuming that a black man must be a criminal. The cops make an apology and quickly get out of there without further checking.

It's depicted to have Arabic as a main language despite the fact that it's located in Central Asia and is right next to Armenia. It's a combination of Ruritania and Qurac with a bit of Commie Land mixed in.

When he refuses to give up his contacts in Russia, Scottie has the door opened and threatens to send the guy out of it. After the terrified man gives up the info, Scottie calls out "shut it down." The "view" transforms into a giant 3-D screen with wind machines and the plane is just a mock-up. Scottie informs the guy that they're still in Russia and he's getting handed to their security.
