The first teaser for NBC’s upcoming season is for the James Spader vehicle, The Blacklist.
The FBI’s most wanted criminal, Raymond Reddington (Spader) turns himself in after being in hiding for decades. He promises to divulge information leading to a list (‘It’s called the blacklist. That’s exciting!) of criminals so big and so successful that the FBI doesn’t even know they exist – but he’s only willing to talk to rookie agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone), whose first day on the job happens to be the day Reddington has turned himself in.
Check out the trailer after jump, then ask yourself if you don’t maybe see more than just a hint of a Hannibal Lector/Clarice Starling vibe building between the two of them.
