The Blacklist Behind The Scene SECRETS Fans Never Knew About.. Welcome back to Flixified, today on the channel we are going to check out The Blacklist behind the scene secrets and details fans never knew about. Since debuting on NBC in 2013, the crime thriller The Blacklist has become one of the most successful and popular shows on the Peacock Network. With a stellar cast that includes James Spader, Megan Boone, and the late Brian Dennehy, the series has been a proven hit with audiences and critics alike. But fans of the series might want to know some of the best behind the scenes facts about one of their favorite shows. Luckily, that's why I am here. Without wasting any more time, let's take a look at the most fascinating behind the scenes facts about the hit NBC crime series. The Original Concept Was Inspired By Criminal-Turned-Informant Whitey Bulger. Back when The Blacklist was still in the conceptual stages, showrunner and executive producer John Eisendrath was trying to find ways to create a crime show that didn't fit into the typical mold of having a hero cop track down bad guys. Instead, he wanted to find a way to make a show where a criminal was the one that was bringing the baddies to justice. That sounds a lot like Whitey Bulger, the Boston crime lord who served as an informant for a number of years before later being becoming one of the FBI's most wanted criminals, right? James Spader Wasn't Cast Until Three Days Before The Pilot Was Filmed. It is hard to imagine a world in which James Spader doesn't Raymond "Red" Reddington, but that was very much a possibility as the actor didn't sign on for the role until right before the show went into production. Before the future star of Avengers: The Age Of Ultron was cast, showrunner John Eisendrath told Variety that he offered the role to the likes of Kiefer Sutherland, Richard Gere, Bryan Cranston, and Pierce Brosnan.
