One of the questions expected to be answered in NBC's "The Blacklist" season 3 episode 1 is whether or not Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) will join Red Reddington (James Spader) to keep Liz Keen (Megan Boone) safe.

While there are not much "The Blacklist" season 3 episode 1 spoilers available out there, Boone has dished on the upcoming season.

In an interview with Zap2it, Boone revealed that "The Blacklist" season 3 is "going to be the same characters but a different show, a very different dynamic because now Liz Keen is no longer working within the law."

"If you break open the entire task force, then it will be challenging to try to find the procedural aspect of the show again," Boone explained. "With 22 episodes a year, it does benefit the show to have some kind of a formula. But we are going to sort of break open a lot of the structure of the show."

In "The Blacklist" season 2 finale, which premiered on May 14, Red and Liz drove off together and Director Cooper (Harry Lennix) was removed from his position and replaced by Agent Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff). 

Aside from receiving rave reviews from fans and critics alike, "The Blacklist" season 2 episode 22 was viewed by approximately 7.49 million viewers on NBC, according to Ecumenical News.

In "The Blacklist" season 2 finale, a turning point for Liz came after she recognized that she pulled the trigger on her abusive father. She was also framed for the murder of a United States senator and was put alongside Red on the FBI's most wanted list. The surprise twist of the finale episode was the revelation of why Red showed particular interest in protecting his partner Liz.
