COVID-19 The Blacklist Season 7 had half-an-episode left to film when it was forced to shut down production. Now, the series has found a solution to finish: animation mixed with the scenes that had already been filmed.

The details:

- The season's 19th episode, titled "The Kazanjian Brothers," was midway into filming in New York when TV productions across the industry were halted due to COVID-19.

Looking to do something out of the box to finish the episode and close out the season, producers came up with an idea to add graphic novel-style animation that would incorporate with the already filmed live-action scenes.

- Cast members recorded dialogue from their homes for the animated scenes to ensure a seamless transition between the two styles as editors and animators complete their work remotely.

- Episode logline: The Task Force investigates an accountant who works for lucrative criminals in order to find the violent and thuggish brothers hired for his protection.

Liz must make a momentous decision. Presented in a unique hybrid of live-action and graphic novel-style animation.
