Blindspot has its eye firmly on a seven-season run, but first it must navigate the cancellation reaper all over again. Speaking to EW, exec producer Martin Gero says he and his team have “very good idea for Season 3” and revealed how they plan to keep the show alive through its natural conclusion:
You want to be slightly ahead of where people expect you to be. People would expect a show in its second season to not be like, “The end game is this season!” They’re trying to do their end game plan this season. For me, every season of the show should feel like a separate novel in a series of books you like. What that allows us to do is have really satisfying endings without the show ending. Where the show goes after season 2, we’re very, very excited about. We have a very good idea for season 3. I think you have to continually reinvent these things.
Cable shows are burning through story [in] 10, 12, 13 episodes, sometimes eight episodes a year. So when we’re doing 22, that’s the pace that people are used to when they’re watching storytelling now. For us to sit back and give them the same amount of story over 22 episodes, the show would just feel not relevant anymore. For as fast as story goes now, it’s almost like four seasons of television that you have to break into these two seasons. That’s something we’re very cognizant of, as TV lovers and TV viewers, and we just want to keep with the pace.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of Blindspot Season 3 renewal…

Do away with the background music, hard enough to hear the soft speaking female characters!! Very disturbing.
