MANILA, 27 APRIL 2020 – The fifth and final season of Blindspot will return to Warner TV same day as the U.S. on Friday, 8 May at 9pm, taking fans on an emotional, action-packed ride as the team of heroes attempt to carry out a mission with the highest stakes yet. New episodes premiere every Friday at the same time.
The eleven-episode season finale begins in the aftermath of the explosion that left Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander) watching as a drone strikes the safe house with the rest of the team inside. With the team on the run, Jane and the surviving members of the former FBI taskforce will race against the clock to clear their names. Without the extensive resources that their former titles afforded them, they must find a way to stop Madeline Burke’s (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) rise to power. With their indestructible bond and the help of old friends, can the team pull it off in time before Madeline tracks them down and take them out once and for all?
In addition to Jamie Alexander (“Thor: The Dark World,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D”) and Oscar®-nominee Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (“The Color of Money”), other returning cast includes Sullivan Stapleton (“300: Rise of an Empire,” “Strike Back”), Rob Brown (“Treme”), Audrey Esparza (“Black Box”), Ashley Johnson (“Much Ado About Nothing”), Ennis Esmer (“Private Eyes”).
