Liz and Red are among the FBI's most wanted in "The Blacklist" season 3. Now considered as fugitives, the duo attempts to outrun their pursuers who are doing everything to eliminate freedom as an option for them. While things seem to go full circle in the new season, series creator Jon Bokenkamp told TV Line that the premiere "feels like a pilot in and of itself." 

He explained, "There's a really strange and powerful dynamic that [Red and Liz] have. Their resources are so incredible, and they complement each other in a really nice way."

Red and Liz have stuck together when they were out hunting for bad guys and here, fans will still see them having each other's backs when they become the apparent bad guys. 

Executive producer John Eisendrath explained in the same TV Line interview that season 3 is special in the sense that the FBI's search for Liz and Red was made "more serialized" compared to what they did in seasons 1 and 2. He also revealed that the new season focuses "entirely" on the present, at least in the beginning. 

There will again be 22 episodes to tune in to this season and Eisendrath assured fans that in these installments, there are "more answers" about Liz and Red's past.

Just recently, a trailer for the new season was released and it shows Liz donning a new look, which is presumably necessitated by her goal not to be spotted by the FBI. 

Eisendrath said that Liz gets to meet "quirky, weird" blacklisters as she attempts to abscond. She comes face to face with one in the premiere, which is titled "The Troll Hunter." The synopsis for the episode that is set to air on Oct. 1 is as follows: 

The season premiere kicks off with the FBI hunting Liz (Megan Boone) for the murder of the Attorney General. Red (James Spader) and Liz are named to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list and set out on the run to evade capture. Red calls upon a Blacklister called "The Troll Farmer," to help them flee the city, while the task force must question whom of their own can still be trusted."
