After successfully spinning off its Chicago franchise, NBC is looking to do the same with its drama The Blacklist, from Sony TV and Davis Entertainment. The network is pursuing a potential offshoot series toplined by X-Men star Famke Janssen. Like with the Chicago series, the network is taking a planted spinoff approach, with Episode 322 of The Blacklist, which airs May 12, serving as a pilot for the potential new series.
Janssen will be introduced in the episode before the planted spinoff, Episode 321 airing on May 5. She will play Susan “Scottie” Halsted. It will be the female lead if NBC proceeds with the series, a decision which will likely be made in the next month and a half.
