Is James Spader returning for season 9 of The Blacklist?

The latest season of The Blacklist wrapped up on June 23, as fans got to see the last showdown between Spader's character Raymond Reddington and Agent Liz Keen, played by Megan Boone.

Season 8 was Boone's last season on The Blacklist, as Deadline reported the decision was mutual and seemed to make sense for the plot.

Boone acknowledged her departure on Instagram, writing, "As her story ends I am grateful, most of all for the people I shared this time with: my fellow cast members present and past, our incredible crew who carried every single day for all involved, and those of you we entertained."

Since the show is centered on Reddington's dynamics with Agent Keen - fans are questioning Spader's future in the series.
