Blindspot creator weighs in on the series finale, says he'd be "super open" to a spinoff

Deadline

Creator Martin Gero says of the NBC crime drama starring Sullivan Stapleton and Jaimie Alexander ending after five seasons: "You know, we really always had kind of a five-season plan in the back of our minds, and so when it came time to go to NBC and present our vision for the fifth season, we very confidently asked, ‘Could we wrap it up?’ You know, it’s so rare for a network TV show to know it’s ending, and this is a show that was somewhat serialized and really required some architecture to allow it to come into landing. So, we were thrilled that they agreed with us and gave us these very exciting 11 episodes to bring the show in for a landing." As for a potential spinoff, Gero says, "I’d be super open to it. I mean, Audrey is part of the…she’s a star I think since the beginning, and if anyone wants to do a Zapata P.I. spinoff, they know where to find me. I’d love to do it."
