How does tom die

By Lesley Goldberg. The character, later revealed to be a covert operative, was spun off last season to topline The Blacklist: Redemption. The Sony Pictures Television Studios-produced spinoff was canceled after one low-rated season, with Eggold returning to the flagship as a series regular in its current fifth season. Sony and NBC have both been deeply supportive, conscientious and adept in managing the show.

I will miss this TV family immensely and diligently look forward to the opportunity to embody new characters and tell new stories. After escaping, Tom was briefly reunited with Liz at their apartment — only she arrived to discover him tied up and held hostage.

I mean, they're going again for a season and I'm excited to see how they end that story because it's been such a journey. It's such a mystery and so many moving parts. The Blacklist went pretty far in establishing that Tom's death wasn't in any way faked, but Ryan Eggold also reprised the role once already since Tom's death as a vision of Liz's, and his comments about possibly seeing Tom again definitely leave the door open.

Whether he could return via vision or dream or flashback or some other way, the possibilities on a show like The Blacklist are endless even though he's no longer alive. I do feel comfortable ruling out an Eggold return because Tom has had an evil twin all along, though! Of course, Ryan Eggold is busy elsewhere on NBC thanks to New Amsterdam , which is heading into its third season, and Max Goodwin is about as different from Tom Keen as possible for two characters played by the same actor.

That's not to say that starring in New Amsterdam has tarnished the memory of playing Tom. Eggold continued talking The Blacklist , saying:. But yeah, that character was a joy to play obviously just because the character himself was a chameleon, and got to put on different masks and different walks and talks and things, so it was a real, real pleasure.

Whether or not Ryan Eggold ever returns to The Blacklist remains to be seen; a lot has happened in Liz's life since Tom's death, including the death of yet another loved one.

It shapes the dynamic in a really interesting way that helps us tell compelling stories. Bokenkamp: Tom found the truth to what was in that suitcase and who that was, and what that larger secret may sort of represent to Reddington in a dangerous way.

That truth is still out there. Jonny Coyne took that suitcase and that is a story that we continue to unpack and that we will have to confirm before the end of the season.

Eisendrath: There will be many twists and turns in it, both in the immediate aftermath and in the rest of the season. Questions revolving around, does he support her in her quest? What did he know? When last seen, Liz is totally unaware of any of this. Home TV Features. Nov 15, pm PT. By Amber Dowling Plus Icon. More From Our Brands.
