The Blacklist stars Spader as Raymond “Red” Reddington, one of the country’s Most Wanted fugitives who ends up helping the FBI (namely a female agent played by Megan Boone) hunt down a “blacklist” of mobsters, spies and international terrorists.
Nagra will play Agent Margot Malik, a mentor of sorts to Boone’s character.

Heck yeah! She bent it like Beckham!
I am sick and tired of Indian actresses always jumping in bed with white males just to get noticed.
They are all sellouts.
I love it Mindy back. I totally watch Blacklist. YESSS!
Awesome news!
Glad she will be back on tv soon. I can’t wait to see her on the show.
Can’t wait to tune in on September 23rd for the premiere of The Blacklist and Parminder Nagra is a great addition to the cast. So proud of her.
It’s too bad Alcatraz went nowhere – her character was poised to become a genuinely intriguing part of that particular puzzle, but it’s definitely a bonus for The Blacklist. Her casting makes it even more of a must-see show (which it became after I saw the awesome pilot).
