James Spader is set to star in NBC’s upcoming psychological thriller The Blacklist. Deadline reports Spader will play “Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington, the world’s most-wanted criminal who mysteriously turns himself in and offers to give up everyone he has ever worked with,” but only under the condition that he gets to work exclusively with a certain young female FBI agent. Think more Hannibal Lecter, less Robert California.
