Get a closer look at Netflix’s latest thriller Bloodline

Netflix changed the world of streaming video when the company turned towards original programming, earning multiple Primetime Emmy nominations and awards for House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, and bringing some bankable legitimacy to the medium. The company’s latest endeavor to turn heads is a new drama/thriller called Bloodline, which debuted its first full trailer this week.

Created by Emmy-nominated writers/producers Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman, and Glenn Kessler, who all worked on the hit series Damages, the new show follows several generations of a Florida family whose lives are thrown into disarray when eldest son Danny (Ben Mendelsohn) returns home and threatens to expose the family’s darkest secrets. Along with Mendelsohn, the series stars Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), Linda Cardellini (Mad Men), Sam Shepard (The Right Stuff), and Sissy Spacek (Carrie).

The tagline for the series is appropriately cryptic: “We’re not bad people, but we did a bad thing.”

All 13 episodes of Bloodline will debut Friday, March 20, on Netflix, and will be made available in 4K.

Netflix also released a poster for the series, which you can check out below:

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (April 2024)
Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You.

Netflix couldn't have asked for a better late April gift than the streaming premiere of Anyone But You. Thanks to Netflix's deal with Sony, 2024's blockbuster rom-com is already on top of the list of the most popular movies on Netflix, leaving Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver in second place. But things could be much worse for Rebel Moon – Part Two, which is performing well a week after its debut.

The other new addition for the week is King Richard, a sports drama starring Will Smith that's appearing on loan from Warner Bros. Discovery. It's also one of Netflix's top movies of the week, which suggests that the film may find sustained popularity on this platform that it didn't get on Max.

It's sad to see April end. Not only was the weather nice, but Netflix was killing it with a lot of its original programming like the thriller series Ripley with Andrew Scott, the true-life story Scoop, and the cathartic drama Baby Reindeer, which became a surprise hit late in the month.
