The Blacklist had to shut down before Season 7 was done due to the coronavirus pandemic, but producers have figured out a creative way to complete the episode that was in production when the shutdown happened.
NBC announced Tuesday the 19th episode and forced season finale, "The Kazanjian Brothers," will be a mix of live-action and "graphic novel-style animation," a Blacklist first.
The episode was midway through filming when the shutdown happened. Looking to do something out of the box to finish the episode and close out the season, producers came up with the idea to add comic book-influenced animation that would tie in with the already filmed live-action scenes.
