Set to air directly following Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2, the episode will feature Ron Perlman as Luther Braxton.

Described by TV Guide as "a meticulous thief who plans his international heists over the course of several months or years," Braxton will not be averse to using chaos as a smokescreen for his crimes.

The episode, however, is not named for Braxton, unless, of course, the villain is going by more than one name. Instead, Spoiler TV reports that the season's ninth episode will be titled "Robert Grady."

Who is Robert Grady? How did he land himself on Raymond 'Red' Reddington's (James Spader) list of criminal masterminds? Fans will have to wait nearly three months to find out.

Following the Super Bowl, The Blacklist will transition to NBC's Thursday night lineup, treating viewers to two episodes in one week.
