‘The Blacklist’ Season 7 Finale Will Be Part Live-Action, Part Comic Book Animation

“The Blacklist” has found yet another creative way of adapting to the coronavirus production shutdown.

The NBC series has announced that its upcoming season 7 finale, titled “The Kazanjian Brothers,” will be part live-action, part comic book-style animation.

Episode 19 was midway through shooting in New York when the production shutdown began, according to sources, leading the producers to look for creative ways to end the season. The animation component will be added to incorporate with the already-filmed live-action scenes.

Cast members recorded dialogue from their homes for the animated scenes, while editors and animators are carrying out their work remotely.
