The show’s executives reportedly admit that this spinoff will not be like what most fans would expect. It will be entirely different form “The Blacklist” series because it has its own story to tell. There have been news that the upcoming eight episodes of “The Blacklist: Redemption” would put light into some of the original show’s dark areas and even add more thrill to it. They also noted that fans should brace themselves for a lot of intense scenes and action-packed adventures.
On top of all this, it has been confirmed that Red (James Spader) will not be seen on the show.

The reasons why Tom would enlist himself in an enemy organisation will be revealed slowly when the show premieres on Feb. 23 with the title "Leland Bray."
