The Blacklist fan-favorite Tom Keen got his own spinoff, but why was Redemption cancelled after one season?
The Big Picture As a fan-favorite character from the long-running TV show The Blacklist, Tom Keen starring in his own spinoff show seems like a great idea on paper. From a missing boy to a ruthless assassin to a stay-at-home dad, what's not to love about Tom? Unfortunately, Tom's spinoff, The Blacklist: Redemption only managed to air for one season before being canceled.
In Redemption, Tom finds out his dad, Howard Hargrave , is very much not dead and is also feuding with Susan "Scottie" Hargrave , who is also Tom's mother, unbeknownst to her. Becoming his father's double agent, Tom joins his mother's corporation, Halcyon Aegis, alongside notorious criminals from Reddington's blacklist, Soloman and Nez Rowan .
However, it seems the spinoff was so caught up in this new "secret agendas and untrustworthy characters" based storytelling, that it failed to capture the story most fans tuned in to see in the first place. There was no place for a cohesive exploration of Tom's backstory in the mystery-shrouded spinoff. In fact, fans on Reddit claimed to be even more confused about Keen’s childhood after watching.
