Fans are about to see Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander) for the last time in Blindspot Season 5. NBC has renewed the show for its last and final season after the change in the network's schedule.
The show had been pulled from NBC's schedule for May Sweeps. The Blacklist temporarily replaced it on its Friday, 8 p.m. timeslot.
Little details are only known about Blindspot Season 5. NBC has yet to announce how many episodes the new season will contain, but there are predictions it will have 13 episodes.
Series creator Martin Gero said its episodes would "reinvent the show" in a big way, per TVLine. He also teased that there would be a "twist and a dimensionality" that they have not played out yet.
Gero admitted that the previous season finale would be a "very bad series finale" if the show got canceled. Fortunately, a huge turnaround happened, and they got Blindspot Season 5 to properly end the show.
The show's renewal seemed impossible with the several breaks it had during Season 4. Hence, the coming of the new season was a surprise to everyone. In fact, the show was on the verge of cancellation since Season 2.
The previous season ended with a major cliffhanger. Jane was outside when the cabin they stayed in suddenly exploded. Weller (Sullivan Stapleton), Patterson (Ashley Johnson), Reade (Rob Brown), and Zapata (Audrey Esparza) were still inside at the time.
Madeline (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) planned the attack using a drone, and she succeeded. Surely, the cliffhanger made everyone anxious about the future of everyone inside. So, how Blindspot Season 5 would get started?
Gero told Entertainment Tonight there would be a two-month time jump. However, fans would still get their questions answered as there would be flashbacks that would feature what happened after the explosion.
"Presuming they all survive, or the ones who do, I think there will be great unity within [the team] like there never has been before," he explained. Gero continued to say they intentionally put the team at odds with each other at different times. In fact, there were only a few times that they got along.
So after the explosion, the surviving team members would be closer in Blindspot Season 5. After all that happened, the show might end by uniting these people. Anyhow, things would be shaken up when they return, presumably, later this year on NBC.
