Blindspot Lands Second-Season Renewal at NBC

UNIVERSAL CITY: NBC has ordered a second season of the freshman drama Blindspot, which ranks as fall's number one new series in the 18-to-49 demo, in addition to renewing Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D.

The series has dominated the 10 p.m. Monday slot since its September 21 launch. Blindspot is averaging a 3.7 rating, 12 share in adults 18 to 49 and 12.7 million viewers overall so far this season.

Jennifer Salke, the president of NBC Entertainment, said: "We are over the moon with the success of Blindspot, and want to thank our producers and amazing cast for creating one of the most riveting shows on television. Jaimie and Sullivan have done an amazing job of ratcheting up the tension each week in trying to unravel the mystery of Jane's tattoos. We literally can't wait to see what the second season will bring."

NBC also renewed the popular dramas Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. for the 2016-17 season. Chicago Fire will be entering its fifth season, and Chicago P.D. will be in its fourth.
