‘The Blacklist’ season 4 video: Go behind the scenes before premiere airs

In just five days, the fourth season of “The Blacklist” will arrive on NBC — but before we even come around to that, NBC is giving you an opportunity to watch something else that is rather cool!

In the video below, you can get a quick look behind the scenes at the new batch of episodes courtesy of a lengthy 20-minute special. Harry Lennix a.k.a. Cooper is the host for the event, and you get everything from a James Spader interview to also a few assorted details here and there about what is coming up. You also get a few things that we don’t expect, and that includes an elusive look behind the scenes at one Mr. Kaplan, a character who proved integral to Liz Keen faking her own death.

For all of you ‘shippers out there, it’s also nice to get an acknowledgement of the Lizzington pairing by many fans to go along with some of the other discussion points as to the relationship between Reddington and Liz. This dynamic is at the center of this series, and we absolutely do not think that it will be simmering at all as we get further and further along.

By and large, we’d say that the #1 question on the minds of many entering this season is if Alexander Kirk really is Liz’s father, and it does feel as though we’re going to get something resembling more information on that before too long.
