With a second season in the bag, Blindspot showrunner Martin Gero has reiterated that he already has a potential third season planned out, per Collider:
We’ve been pretty solid on who [Jane Doe] is since we pitched the show. Nowadays, networks have gotten real wise to a high-concept pilot that maybe doesn’t have anywhere to go. So, we really developed into the second and third season, in the pitch. When you do a pitch like this, if you just pitch them the pilot, they’re immediately like, “Who is she for real, though?” And if you don’t have an answer, you’re in trouble. So, I’ve known who she is and what her real story is for a long time. In the original pitch, I pitched what the mid-season finale was going to be and what the finale was going to be, and a general idea for what Season 2 is. We’ve stuck to that game plan. I’m anxious when I don’t know things about our own show because we do burn through plot so quickly. I just don’t ever want to be in the situation where we’ve made a choice because we think it’s cool, and then it paints us into a corner that’s so hard to get out of. It’s so much easier to just know where you’re going. I’ve worked on shows where you make it up as you go, and you’re just like, “If I had just written one sentence about this in a previous episode, we could all go home right now.” It allows you to problem solve and you can lay things in so that the turns feel organic, as opposed to, “Wait, what?!”
