The Blacklist is back!

The drama was renewed for Season 9 at NBC for the 2021-22 season, THR reported Tuesday (January 26).

The renewal news comes after just three episodes of Season 8, largely due to production delays at the start of the season amid the pandemic.

The Blacklist is the current third-longest-running scripted series on NBC, behind only Law & Order: SVU and Chicago Fire.

“The James Spader- and Megan Boone-led series remains a steady performer on Friday nights, with its first two episodes averaging a 1.2 rating in the key ad demographic of adults 18-49 and 7.2 million viewers, including delayed viewing and streaming to date. Both figures are more than double the initial numbers for the show (0.4 and 3.6 million). The show is also very popular on Netflix: Per Nielsen, The Blacklist ranked ninth among all acquired streaming series in 2020 with almost 14.5 billion minutes of viewing time,” the outlet reported.

All of these Netflix shows just got renewed!

The balloon, disguised as real coverage from the parade, was an ad for The Rock‘s upcoming TV comedy, Young Rock, which is set to arrive in 2021.

In the commercial break, Today‘s Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb remarked about the balloon, dressed up in his infamous ’90s blue jeans, fanny pack, silver chain and black turtleneck look used in many memes

Young Rock “follows the wild times of Dwayne as a kid, a teen, and a college footballer,” according to Hoda, while Savannah said that she “can’t wait to see what kind of trouble little D.J. got into.”

“Never in my wildest dreams…I’ve been a lucky SOB to have done some pretty cool s–t in my career, but after seeing my @nbcyoungrock FANNY PACK FLOAT in the #MacysThanksgivingParade, this might take the cake. This time in my life may represent when I had just $7bucks in my fanny pack, but at least I had enough COOL to tuck my turtleneck in and wear fake silver jewelry because it was all I could afford 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️ And my massive plucked raised eyebrow is the stuff that dreams (and nightmares) are made of 😂💀 Float on, kid.. you might just make it one day,” The Rock wrote on Instagram.

If you missed it, here’s who’s going to play him in the upcoming series!
