When the series returns next month for its season 9 premiere, it will pick up two years after Keen’s death, the network revealed Thursday.Viewers will quickly see just how big an impact Keen’s death had on the show’s characters. The FBI task force dedicated to taking down the world’s worst criminals will have disbanded, with many of them now living very different lives. With the enigmatic mastermind Raymond Reddington (James Spader) in the wind, the old team will find themselves drawn together by ”a common purpose” to resume their original mission of taking ”down dangerous, vicious, and eccentric Blacklisters,” per a new season 9 logline. That will force the team to confront deadly foes, new conspiracies, shocking betrayals, and the testing of alliances, all ”led by the most devious criminal of them all — Raymond Reddington.” –Ew.com
