'The Blacklist: Redemption' Casts Adrian Martinez, Find Out Who He Will Play [VIDEO]
The Blacklist: Redemption is getting all its ducks in a row. The Tom Keen spinoff won't hit screens until 2017, but casting is already well underway.
The Blacklist introduced viewers to Susan "Scottie" Hargrave (Famke Janssen) in a backdoor pilot, but the Grey Matters leader wasn't the only new face to appear in the May episode. Adrian Martinez's Dumont also made his debut, and the tech whiz will return as a series regular for Redemption's maiden voyage.
"Martinez will play Dumont, an extremely capable computer hacker with an exotic air who keeps his boss apprised of their enemies' movements," Deadline announced on Thursday.
Teamed with Hargrave, Dumont will continue to help the mercenaries of Grey Matters tackle cases the government won't touch with a ten-foot pole.
"Scottie's hiring spies like myself to influence governments, and [there are] empires rising and falling and the behind-the-scenes of that," Keen previewed, according to TV Line. I think that's really timely, with Bernie Sanders and the concentration of wealth at the top, and corporations having all the power and influence on politics. If we get into a dramatized version of that world, where we are spies operating with those 1-percenters, that's a really fun world that people want to see right now.
Edi Gathegi Blacklist villain Mr. Solomon will join Eggold, Janssen, and Martinez. Filming for The Blacklist: Redemption will begin in November with a premiere slatted for early 2017.
