The Blacklist: Did The Show Ever Reveal Who Raymond Reddington Is?

Your browser does not support the video tag.
The Blacklist had a lot of fun teasing the answer to the series' one lingering question, but did it ever reveal who is Raymond Reddington? Premiering in 2013, The Blacklist was an NBC thriller that opened with notorious wanted criminal Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) handing himself over to the FBI. Red offered to help them track down other wanted criminals that he had compiled on his own "blacklist." Reddington's rather odd condition was that he would only work with rookie Liz Keen (Megan Boone), with his connection to her remaining mysterious.
The Blacklist ran for 10 seasons and ended on its own terms. When Liz died in season 8, it seemed that the biggest puzzle in the series might remain unanswered. The primary question for much of The Blacklist has been who exactly is Raymond Reddington, with the biggest clues suggesting that he was Liz's father.
