What can you say about Ilya Koslov's childhood friend? Will we be seeing more of him in Season 7? We've had episodes like those that, I think, to be honest, are more reflective of statements, if there are any statements that we want to make, about things that are going on in the world then the outcome of President Diaz. We had a case this year about the bug man, and that spoke to environmental destruction brought on by pesticides. The times where we are making any sort of point or have a point of view about something that goes on in the real world is more true certain cases that we dramatize. The idea that the president is part of a storyline involving the Blacklist, I would be reluctant to say we were trying to make a point about should or shouldn't go on in Washington. How about a crooked president getting brought down? Is that a little bit of a fantasy element?Įisendrath: I would genuinely say that we really are not a political show.

Obviously this does feel that way, but we were telling that story long before it became a real story in the world. In fact, we were a little nervous that it was too - some of The Blacklist stories we tell are stories we get out of the headlines, but these bigger stories we don't like to overlap too closely.
We didn't really rip it from the headlines. So we feel somewhat prescient in our storytelling. And as Senator Diaz, in order to become president he took $30 million of Russian money long before anyone ever knew Donald Trump was going to be president, long before there was any discussion of Russian involvement in our election. John Eisendrath: I would say no for one reason: We introduced the character who played President Diaz in Season 3, which was 2015, and he was Senator Diaz. So a White House conspiracy with payments from Russians, is this ripped from the headlines a little bit? Laila Robins and James Spader, The Blacklist NBC, Virginia Sherwood/NBC
