The Blacklist has wrapped its ninth season and the season finale saw the exit of two series regulars. Amir Arison and Laura Sohn will not return for season 10 of the NBC drama. Arison has been on the series since the first season, and Sohn joined the series during season seven.

Arison, who played Aram Mojtabi, is preparing to star in The Kite Runner in his Broadway debut.  John Eisendrath, showrunner of the NBC drama, said the following about Arison’s exit, per Deadline: “Amir has been a huge part of The Blacklist family. He’s a great actor and an even better person. We wish him well and hope he can return to reprise the role for some very special episodes next year.” Sohn, who portrayed FBI agent Alina Park, is reportedly leaving the series to pursue other projects. 

James Spader, Diego Klattenhoff, Hisham Tawfiq, and Harry Lennix will return for season 10 of The Blacklist in early 2023.
