James Spader to Target The Blacklist on NBC

Well, it can't go any worse than his stint on The Office.

James Spader is re-teaming with NBC on The Blacklist, a drama that will feature the Emmy winner as Raymond Reddington, an ex-Army intelligence officer-turned-criminal who works with Megan Boone's FBI agent in order to track down his former accomplices.

Jon Bokenkamp and John Eisendrath will produce the pilot, which received a network green light in January and which may end up on the fall schedule.
