"The Blacklist" season 3 recently tapped Tawny Cypress to guest-star in the last two episodes of the hit TV show.
According to Deadline, the "Unforgettable" actress will play the role of Nez Rowan.
The publication revealed that Cypress' casting paves the way to be a regular member of "The Blacklist" spinoff if ever the network decides to push through with the project.
Cypress' episode as Nez (formerly known as Harper) will air on May 12.
As of late, not much details about the spinoff has been released yet. There are only some speculations that it will focus mostly on Scottie's relationship with Tom.
The two characters' relationship is believed to be similar to the relationship of Red (James Spader) and Liz's (Megan Boone) with each other.
Meanwhile, according to TV Series Finale, Cypress will star alongside "How to Get Away With Murder" recurring guest star Famke Janssen in the two episodes.
As of late, details are still being kept under wraps.
In other news, fans of the TV show are expressing their excitement over the spinoff.
One fan @worthymagic wrote, "Sounds like an interesting show to wait and see."
Another fan @Elle wrote, "Well I guess Tom and Liz didn't stay together. Thanks for the spoiler."
One fan @Rose wrote, "R U kidding? Ryan Eggold isn't going to be on THE BLACKLIST after this season & is going to the spin off? Say it ain't so!"
Another fan @AD Adams wrote, "Could be an awesome show!"
The same fan posted a follow up comment saying, "This could be interesting. The Blacklist is one of my favorites and James Spader is totally awesome!"
Meanwhile, according to IBTimes, Eggold is expected to play a huge role in the spinoff after the current third season ends.
As of late, however, NBC hasn't officially picked up the spinoff. Season 3, episode 22 will serve as the deciding moment for the fate of the show and its cast members.
The publication noted that if viewers' response will be positive, there's a big chance that NBC will pick up the spinoff. Otherwise, the series will be cancelled after the third season.
"The Blacklist" season 3 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
