NBCAnd the first new fall show to get a full season order is—drumroll, please—Blindspot! Which tattoo foretold this bit of good news?
NBC has ordered nine more episodes of the action-packed show, which stars Jaimie Alexander as a beautiful woman who wakes up naked in Times Square with intricate tattoos fully covering her entire body. Turns out, each of the tats is a clue she and the FBI must decipher to uncover her identity and to stop a future crime.
Blindspot was one of the first shows of the new season to premiere in September, and its ratings have remained consistently strong throughout its first few weeks on the air. We ranked it as the No. 4 best new show of the season ahead of its debut, and viewers seemed to agree!
While we're pumped to get plenty more episodes of this badass series—22, to be exact—it's probably a little bittersweet for Alexander considering it means another week of her life will be spent in the makeup chair getting her tattoos applied.
Seriously—each time she has to do the full body's worth of ink it takes seven full hours! Thankfully, she doesn't have to do that every time (because, you know, she gets to wear clothes). "Every single day I put the arms and then chest up," she dished. "And the neck and part of my back…Typically, I'm in the forearms and the chest up, which takes, like, an hour and a half."
Blindspot airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC.
