Season 5
🎬 22 Episodes 📅 2017 ⏱ 43 min
A man emerges from the shadows, surrendering to the very agency hunting him for decades, carrying secrets that could unravel a hidden world of darkness. He offers something irresistible: access to The Blacklist, a catalog of threats the FBI doesn't even know exist, but demands to work only with a young profiler who becomes unknowingly entangled in his dangerous game. What begins as a partnership of convenience transforms into something far more complex, where trust becomes a weapon and truth conceals deeper deceptions. In this dance between hunter and hunted, nothing is ever what it seems.
