The Blacklist is seeing a big exit during its final episode of season eight later this month. Megan Boone is departing the NBC drama, per Deadline. The decision for her to leave the series was made earlier this year before the series was renewed for a ninth season at the start of the year.

Season eight has shown Boone’s character, Liz, complete her journey from FBI agent to criminal. She even landed on Red’s blacklist at No. 1. The news about Boone’s departure is not a complete surprise. Her character did not appear in eight episodes this season.

Boone will not exit before a lot of questions are answered. The final two episodes of season eight will give a lot of answers including why Red entered Liz’s life eight years ago.

NBC will air the final two episodes on The Blacklist season eight on Wednesday nights, instead of in its normal Friday time slot.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The Blacklist on NBC? Are you shocked by Megan Boone’s exit? Will you continue to watch the series during its ninth season?
