NBC has yet to ask for a new set of episodes of Blindspot Season 5, although the current season is about to come to an end. Shows' renewals are partly based on its ratings, so it will still depend on how the series' remaining episodes will perform. As Blindspot Season 4 Episode 20, titled "Coder to Killer," is about to hit the small screens next week, it remains to be seen how viewers will continuously support the show.
"A horrifying and vengeful villain threatens the FBI; Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) considers his priorities," Blindspot Season 4 Episode 20 official synopsis read, per its IMDb page. "Zapata (Audrey Esparza) and Reade (Rob Brown) try to navigate their living situation; Patterson (Ashley Johnson) explores a budding interest."
There will be a lot of twists and turns come Blindspot Season 4 Episode 20. It will involve Weller, Zapata, Reade, and Patterson, and it may show a major storyline that may mark the start of Blindspot Season 5.
Blindspot Season 4 only has three episodes to offer, so fans expect NBC to order for Blindspot Season 5 anytime soon. There are a lot of mysteries the show has to offer, so it is not a surprise if a new season comes out.
According to CarterMatt, executive producer Martin Gero hinted Patterson's storyline would be explored if there would be Blindspot Season 5. Here, fans might know what the real first name of Johnson's character is.
There are theories Patterson's first name has something to do with her personality. However, there may also be a reason why she is only using her surname. Will it finally be revealed in Blindspot Season 5?
So far, the odds of getting Blindspot Season 5 is still up in the air. NBC may still see how the show performs when it completes revealing the rest of Season 4 episodes, along with its continued DVR and streaming performance.
It may do well for NBC to continue Blindspot Season 5 to give the show a proper ending and never let fans hanging with a major cliffhanger and loose ends. However, it may also be a big challenge for the network as it doesn't hold the full ownership of the show. It also has to face the problem of the "live+same-day ratings" on Friday nights' schedule.
From the looks of it, fans still have to wait for NBC's decision and official announcement if there will be Blindspot Season 5. For now, they can support the show by watching Blindspot Season 4 Episode 20, titled "Coder to Killer," when it hits the small screens on Friday, May 3.
