The Blacklist Season 8

[JOMACIAK]

Hi, has season 8 of the blacklist been taken off sky? If so why and does anyone know if it will return? I only had 3 episodes to go and it's disappeared 😢

Catch Up episodes only stay on for 30 days.

Dont know why its been removed but we hadnt finished it either. seasons 1-7 there but 8 has gone :(((

It has probably been removed due to this:

Series 8 was the latest one so the episodes were on Catchup unlike seasons 1-7 which are on boxsets so are available for much longer.

That wouldnt make sense though as the first episodes were also there yesterday. Wouldnt they have disappeared before the last episodes as it was on once a week?

Anymore know how long it generally takes before it goes to box set?

It could be weeks or it could be months, you could try asking this question to the Viewer Relations team at Sky, they can be contacted via this email address - viewerR@sky.uk

Had this yesterday on the NOW community forum. According to the NOW app where it indicates that season 8 still had 6 days before some of the episodes being removed early. 
And now the season has been removed completely.

And now it's the blacklist season 8, gone AWOL. Seasons 1 to 7 still there.... Noticed last night, as we've been watching the season... Wanted to know how many episodes left, and it wasn't there.... We are 20 episodes in and been downloading them in UHD rather than recording on HD..... What's going on, its not as if season 8 is old, and I bet alot more people will be annoyed with this.....

Hi,

I have the same problem here. It clearly stated The Blacklist series 8 will expire on 4th August. We have been watching 2 episodes a day and would have finished it on 3 August.

I have sent an email as suggested by caesarome above and will let you know if I hear anything.

I have moved your post to the discussionn here about this series.

Bottom line it was removed as the right have expired with series 8 being the latest it was probably on Catchup and not Boxsets as 1-7 are.

Update as promised:

I've had a reply already from Sky, so really impressed with the speed of reply...Just not happy with the reply!

They are saying that on catch up episodes are available "for around 31 days" and that time period has ended.

They did not say anything about the expiry date of 4th August quoted on the episodes in the catch up section.

They did say that it might become available in Sky boxsets but had no idea of when (or indeed, if, it would seem).

Sorry it's not better news!

[penfold72]

Forgive me if I'm incorrect, but I've just been through a load of box sets and stuff on catch up, and nowhere can I see expiry dates for any of the stuff I've looked at.  Is it hidden or somewhere else. It's certainly not clear if it's there..... 

[caesarome]

Do you have a Sky+ or Sky Q box @penfold72 . If Sky+ you press the i button for it to be revealed but with Sky Q you get a 30 day countdown. Both sets of dates can be found in the program synopsis area.

[penfold72]

I've got a sky q 2tb box on q160. Still can't see them... I'm looking at twin peaks season and others under box sets.

Luckily, I remembered that I was  recording blacklist season 8 from never miss, but just deleted the aired episodes as I was downloading them in UHD. Checked my deleted items and episodes 21 and 22 were still there, so as least I can watch the seasons conclusion.

Twin Peaks expires 31 December 2021.

Sky Q only displays the expiry date if it's within 30 days.

EDIT If you take a look at The Good Doctor S4 (expires 26th Aug), you should see where Sky Q tells you.
