Fans of 'The Blacklist' might be rejoicing the full season they have had, but unfortunately, the show is not returning with its upcoming Episode 11 of Season 8 next Friday. The horrors of Townsend are about to unfold upon Raymond 'Red' Reddington and his trusted ally Dembe on March 12's Episode 10 titled 'Dr. Laken Perillos'. But with speculation surrounding Red's safety already under massive doubt, fans will be disheartened to learn that there is no new episode of 'The Blacklist' in the coming week. Wondering when you can find out what's next? Worry not, we've got all the answers for you.

According to TV listings revealed by Futon Critic, 'The Blacklist' returns with Season 8 Episode 11 in two weeks on Friday, March 26, at its usual 8 pm time slot only on NBC. This is the first time in a very long time that the show is going on a break ever since it returned from a winter break on January 22, 2021. The break came unexpectedly and shockingly early this season, with the show having premiered just two weeks ago, and aired two episodes only. Ever since 'The Blacklist' has been airing steadily for months until this week, the wait for the upcoming episode will get longer than usual following tonight's episode.

Based on the synopsis teased by NBC, the upcoming Episode 11 titled 'Captain Kidd' will see "The Task Force attempt to stop an abduction by searching for a "treasure man" who uses geocaching to hide illicit goods and facilitate transactions between otherwise warring criminal." This will come after the latest Episode 10 airing on March 12, where "Red and Dembe land in peril when Townsend deploys a torture specialist who uses unorthodox methods to interrogate her victims."

Tonight's Episode 10 is also going to be especially nailbiting as prospects of the heroine gone rogue, aka former FBI agent turned number one blacklister Elizabeth 'Liz' Keen's return seems imminent. The leading character has been gone but not missing in action for quite a while now. She has been working behind the scenes to recruit blacklisters and wage a war subsequently to avenge her mother, Katarina Rostova's death at the hands of her beloved mentor turned nemesis, Red. While the fandom is torn between whether or not they can really stand anymore, we sure do miss watching Megan Boone kick major a** as her bossy avatar and hope this episode finally shows her in frame.

'The Blacklist' Season 8 airs on Fridays at 8 pm only on NBC.
