Starting September 6th, Season 1 of NBC's The Blacklist will be available to watch (or re-watch, for diehard fans) on Netflix. This acquisition came with a hefty price tag though. $2 million an episode is what Netflix shelled out.

As Deadline reports, Netflix just entered into what is believed to be the "biggest subscription video-on-demand deal" in history with Sony Pictures TV. This $2 million per episode price stands for Season 1 and all future seasons of the James Spader series.Deadline also states that it's believed Sony TV has the right to also sell The Blacklist into in cable and broadcast syndication, but that this deal has Netflix getting an exclusive first window. The Blacklist's price even beat The Walking Dead's fee, which is said to be around $1.35 million an episode.
