Since her dramatic exit from the popular television series “Supernatural” after its 12th season as hunter-turned-queen Jody Mills, Megan Boone has kept herself surprisingly busy both in front of, and behind the camera.
While many fans were heartbroken to see her character’s story arc conclude, Boone’s departure gave her the space to explore new avenues within the entertainment world. She dove straight into a lead role once “Supernatural” wrapped production, taking on the complex portrayal of FBI Special Agent Elizabeth Keen in NBC’s acclaimed crime thriller series “The Blacklist.”
Boone’s performance garnered widespread praise for its nuance and emotional depth. Many critics lauded her ability to convincingly portray both Keen’s vulnerability and steely determination as she navigated a web of conspiracy and betrayal alongside the enigmatic Raymond Reddington, played by James Spader. Her time on “The Blacklist,” spanning nine seasons with Boone leading the charge through much of it, showcased her range and solidified her as one of television’s most respected dramatic actresses.
But Boone’s talents extend far beyond simply inhabiting characters created by others. She has also actively pursued opportunities behind the scenes, expanding her creative influence in remarkable ways.
During her final seasons on “The Blacklist,” Boone took on directing duties for a handful of episodes. This experience gave her a deeper understanding of the filmmaking process and ignited a desire to tell stories through her own vision. While she has yet to unveil any major directorial projects, whispers abound about potential movie scripts in the works penned by Megan herself.
So what’s next for this powerhouse actress and burgeoning filmmaker? One thing is certain: Boone is not one to be boxed in or defined by past roles. She’s clearly driven to push boundaries and explore new creative landscapes. Will she helm a feature film? Develop a unique television series? Perhaps both! Only time will tell what exciting endeavors Megan Boone has planned for the next chapter of her career.
Stay tuned, because things are probably about to get very interesting.
