Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

6. The Blacklist

Network: NBC
Status: Season 10 Is A Long-Shot

In January of 2013, less than 6 months after purchasing the rights for “The Blacklist” from Sony Pictures Television, and as a result of the show testing higher than any other show that the network had trialed in the previous decade, NBC gave the go-ahead to begin production of the series.

“The Blacklist” started off so strong that, in 2014, Netflix began paying a fee of $2 million per episode in order to air it on the streaming network. As the years have passed by, so has the interest in the show as the average weekly viewership has been declining every year since the show began. Season 9 is currently underway, but it’s doubtful that “The Blacklist” will see double-digits.
