Blindspot is an American crime drama television series created by Martin Gero for NBC and executive-produced by Gero and Greg Berlanti. The show stars Sullivan Stapleton and Jaimie Alexander, and follows a mysterious woman with no recollection of her past or identity whose numerous tattoos contain clues to crimes that a team of FBI agents must solve. Rob Brown, Audrey Esparza, Ashley Johnson, Ukweli Roach and Marianne Jean-Baptiste co-star alongside Stapleton and Alexander. Archie Panjabi, Luke Mitchell, Michelle Hurd, Ennis Esmer and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio joined the main cast in later seasons. Blindspot was produced by Berlanti Productions, Quinn's House, and Warner Bros. Television, and premiered on NBC on September 21, 2015.
