Season 4 of "The Blacklist" is coming to a close, with the final episode set to air next month. However, there is still no news as to whether the show is coming back for a Season 5. Some say that because there is already a spin-off to the series, it may not come back. But there are also talks that if the crime thriller series does not get a green light for Season 5, fans can blame it on the declining ratings of the show.

According to 411Mania, "The Blacklist" is a bubble show. The show's viewership has declined, and it only takes a simple web search to see that every season, the numbers are going down. There were high expectations for the spin-off "The Blacklist: Redemption," but it has even lower ratings than the original.

Currently on a break, "The Blacklist" Season 4 gave way to its spin-off. Many fans noted that the show has been picking up steam after it returned in January, and it would be a shame to cancel the show when it is gaining momentum.

The spin-off is given eight weeks, and its ending will only add more anticipation for the return of "The Blacklist" Season 4. OppTrends said that when Season 4 debuted in NBC last year, it was received warmly by viewers. But lately, the 18- to 49-year-old demographic ratings went down to 0.92 - the show's lowest so far.

Many loyal viewers are of course hopeful that NBC will give the show another chance because there are still a lot of unanswered questions. There are rumors circulating online that if "The Blacklist" Season 5 is approved, we will finally understand why Dembe betrayed Red. There are reports claiming that Dembe is not really a bad person, and that there could be a very strong reason why he did what he did. Hopefully, NBC makes a statement soon about the show's fate.
