The full season order announcement came from its explosive run since its premiere on Sept. 21. As of now, it garnered an average of 2.7 rating in adults 18 to 49 and 9.6 million viewers overall. After garnering less than 5 million viewers for its first two episodes, "Blindspot" continues to perform as a current top-rated series in the current TV programming.
"Blindspot" follows the story of an unknown tattooed woman, who goes by the name Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander), who was found inside a duffel bag by the FBI. It was revealed that she has been under a drug-induced amnesia, that's why she can't remember her past life.

Now, Jane and Kurt works together in solving the mysteries of her past through the tattoos on her body.
