-Harry Lennix as Harold Cooper: The Blacklist: The show’s former head of the task force who died in The Blacklist finale after being held captive by The Cabal. While it remains to be seen how he’ll return, there is a strong possibility that Harold will appear as an apparition or memory for Liz and Red (James Spader) – perhaps acting as their conscience as they look to take The Cabal down from the inside.
-Michael Aronov as The Postman: The Blacklist: A returning guest star who was last seen in The Blacklist Season Six episode “Ruin” alongside Tom and Liz, The Postman is a highly-skilled assassin known for his signature looks – including a post office uniform and an eyepatch. The Postman resurfaced in The Blacklist Season Seven episode “The Travel Agency” after Liz made contact with him to help her track down the man who killed Tom’s wife, Naomi Hyland (Mary-Louise Parker).
Plot details of The Blacklist Season 9:
Season nine will see Ryan Eggold return as Tom Keen, The Blacklist’s husband and father to Liz (Megan Boone) and Agnes. When last seen he was working alongside Elizabeth but it remains unclear whether or not their relationship is still on solid ground – The Blacklist Season Eight finale saw The Postman kill Tom’s ex-wife, Naomi Hyland (Mary Louise Parker).
