‘The Blacklist' Season 4 Release Date & News Update: Raymond Reddington, Mr Kaplan Relationship Essential As Liz Keen, Alexander Kirk Search Directs S4?

"The Blacklist" Season 4 has to re-establish trust between Raymond Reddington (James Spader) and Mr. Kaplan (Susan Blommaert) if the search for Liz Keen (Megan Boone) and Alexander Kirk aka Constantin Rostov (Ulrich Thomsen) is to be successful. Luckily, Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) is not letting being trapped in a car trunk in "The Blacklist" Season 4 premiere slow him down as he tries to beat Raymond Reddington in finding Liz Keen.

Zap2It reports that NBC released "The Blacklist" Season 4 tease with Raymond Reddington and Mr. Kaplan seemingly on talking terms again. Considering how "The Blacklist" creator Jon Bokenkamp promised that the rift between Raymond Reddington and Mr. Kaplan will play big in the Season 4 premiere, the photo tease may be a mislead.

  Zap2It previously cited Jon Bokenkamp in highlighting the (non)reconciliation between Raymond Reddington and Mr. Kaplan as a crucial element when "The Blacklist" Season 4 opens. Hopefully, things won't get too complicated between Raymond Reddington and Mr. Kaplan if they are to have hope of finding Liz Keen and Alexander Kirk before "The Blacklist" Season 4 becomes too narky.

Jon Bokenkamp did reveal to Digital Trends that "The Blacklist" Season 4 will be an emotional high and low on adrenaline for Raymond Reddington, Liz Keen, Tom and the rest of the team. This is further complicated by the fact that followers of the NBC series are going to remain in the dark about who the real villain in "The Blacklist" Season 4 is - Raymond Reddington, Alexander Kirk, Katarina Rostova or another hidden player.

Tom Keen is not sitting around to find out before getting into trademark action-packed response, which earned him "The Blacklist: Redemption" spin-off. Zap2It points out that "The Blacklist" Season 4 promotional photos show Tom Keen burying a corpse.

Tom Keen has a world to gain and a lifetime's dream to lose if he fails to reunite with Liz Keen and Agnes in "The Blacklist" Season 4. As Parent Herald cites, Tom is fighting for the chance to have a family life with Liz Keen and Agnes as briefly experienced in "The Blacklist" Season 3 finale.

Whether Raymond Reddington gets in the way of Tom Keen and how complicated a scenario Liz Keen and Alexander Kirk will paint together will begin to unfold when NBC airs "The Blacklist" Season 4 premiere on Sept 22. Who do you think will prove to be the villain in the dynamics among Raymond Reddington, Liz Keen, Tom Keen, Alexander Kirk, Mr Kaplan and Katarina Rostova in "The Blacklist" Season 4?
