The more things change on The Blacklist, the more they stay the same.
Even though some elements of the NBC drama look different in the newest batch of Season 3 photos — namely, Liz’s platinum locks — others feel totally familiar. (Red aiming a rifle at somebody? What else is new?)
Also featured in the photos from Season 3’s first two installments: Ressler, Samar and Aram looking tense as they try to track down their onetime co-worker, plus Red keeping tabs on all Liz-related news coverage — while hiding out in a really fancy house, might we add.
One character seemingly missing from the early episodes? Tom Keen, who was last seen setting sail for who-knows-where in the Season 2 finale. (Fret not, though, the latest edition of Ask Ausiello provides some clues — straight from series creator Jon Bokenkamp — on that handsome villain’s recent activities.)
The Blacklist returns Thursday, Oct. 1, at 9/8c on NBC. Click through our gallery of Season 3 photos below in the meantime, then hit the comments with your thoughts!

I’m still hooked on The Blacklist and I can’t wait for the new season tomorrow night. Between this sandwiched with Heroes Reborn and The Player, they make a great Thursday night line-up on NBC and they should forget about ABC’s TGIT aka the Shondaland line-up.
Too bad TGIT rates way higher and is more popular
and better….
No way, TGIT is all soap opera. You can get that during the day. And ratings don’t mean quality, they never have.
That’s because NBC is bringing in the action on Thursday nights.
Heroes Reborn kind of sucked last week as they don’t appear to have learned from their mistakes with the original series. I’ll give it a few more shots, but I’m not too hopeful. I’ve been told The Player was a giant Turd. Other than Blacklist where’s the quality?
Can’t wait for tomorrow!
I like Tom.
I love Tom.
I’m giving this show three episodes to turn itself around. If it can’t hold my attention I’m out for good. The central mystery has been dragged on for far too long and is infuriating. The showrunner could learn a thing or two from the people behind Blindspot which has really moved the story along quite well in just two episodes.
Wow! I couldn’t believe Samar and Ressler
either. In fact, I had to rewind to make sure I saw
what I saw. I think this was an “in the moment”
type of thing and they will tell each other in the
morning that it shouldn’t have happened.
However, the tension and/or guilt will be there
and Aram will somehow find out. By the same
token, despite his devotion, I don’t think Amar
was macho enough for someone like Samar. She
was flattered by his attentions and he is indeed
very sweet but I don’t think she was as in to him
as he was in to her.
