Why Such A Different Approach
The cast had shot for a portion of the season finale episode when the production was abruptly halted due to the spread of the Corona Virus. The creators took the animated route to make sure that the show continues.
John Eisendrath and Jon Bokenkamp, executive producers of the show said in an interview that they have always considered The Blacklist being a big of a comic book. There is a criminal anti-hero at the centre of the show. The look and feel of the show has a slightly graphic novel feel to it. It is in the DNA of the series.
The stars of the show recorded the dialogues in quarantine. Animators worked round the clock to make the final episode happen.
