  1. November 9, 2015 NBC RENEWS HIT DRAMA SERIES "BLINDSPOT" FOR SECOND SEASON Sullivan Stapleton and Jaimie Alexander Lead Stellar Cast as Tattoo Mysteries Continue UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – Nov. 9, 2015 – NBC has ordered a second season of its hit freshman drama Blindspot, the #1 new series of the fall in the 18-49 demo. With Sullivan Stapleton as an FBI agent who's not to be messed with and breakout star Jaimie Alexander now firmly established as a TV leading lady, Blindspot has proven to be both a ratings and critical smash. Since its Sept. 21 launch, the series has dominated the 10 p.m. Monday timeslot. The Wall Street Journal says "Blindspot manages to exert instant powers of seduction and keep a viewer rapt," TV Guide says the series is "a sleek and exciting showcase for Jaimie Alexander's elaborately inked ninja," the Los Angeles Times writes that "Blindspot comes out of the box (or that darn bag) with tantalizing, high-energy grace" and USA Today calls it one of the top five shows of the fall. "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," said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. "We literally can't wait to see what the second season will bring." Blindspot is averaging a 3.7 rating, 12 share in adults 18-49 and 12.7 million viewers overall so far this season, according to "most current" averages from Nielsen Media Research through the season's opening six weeks, making it the #1 new series of the new fall season in 18-4. Blindspot is undefeated in the time period so far this season versus its broadcast competition in adults 18-49 and is outrating its ABC and CBS competition combined in that key demo. Blindspot is also one of the most time-shifted shows on television, growing by +71% so far this season in adult 18-49 rating going from its next-day "live plus same day" rating to "live plus seven day Nielsens" (from a 2.65 to a 4.54) and by more than 5.7 million viewers overall (9.3 million to 15.1 million). A beautiful woman, with no memories of her past, is found naked in Times Square with her body fully covered in intricate tattoos. Her discovery sets off a vast and complex mystery that immediately ignites the attention of the FBI, who begin to follow the road map on her body to reveal a larger conspiracy of crime while bringing her closer to discovering the truth about her identity. The cast includes Sullivan Stapleton (300: Rise of an Empire, Strike Back), Jaimie Alexander (Thor: The Dark World, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Broadchurch, Without a Trace), Rob Brown (Treme), Audrey Esparza (Black Box), Ukweli Roach (The Royals) and Ashley Johnson (Much Ado About Nothing). Writer Martin Gero (Bored to Death, L.A. Complex) serves as executive producer along with Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Mysteries of Laura, The Flash), Sarah Schechter (The Mysteries of Laura, The Flash), Mark Pellington (Cold Case) and Marcos Siega (The Following). Pellington directed the pilot episode.
