Get ready for Bloodline season 2: The Netflix series returns this May

An end is in sight for Bloodline fans waiting to see what will happen next with the very complicated Rayburn family. Netflix has unveiled the premiere date for Bloodline season 2, and the wait will be over on May 27.

The series will pick up where it left off, following the Rayburns, a prominent family living in the Florida Keys, where they own and operate a hotel. Although they seem like model citizens from the outside, they’ve worked hard to conceal a dark past. And that won’t change moving forward, especially not after the events of season 1, which gave them even more to hide than ever before.

The finale showed yet another person doing another hugely bad thing: (spoiler alert!) John Rayburn (played by Kyle Chandler) drowned his older brother, Danny (Ben Mendelsohn). Presumably, covering up the crime won’t be easy, and John’s going to have to cope with all kinds of fallout from his actions, whether the consequences be emotional, legal, or both. According to Collider, Danny will appear in the series still, so we could see him in flashbacks or as a ghost.

Danny’s murder wasn’t the only curveball in the finale. A boy who claimed to be his son showed up as well, and apparently, he won’t be the only stranger from the late Rayburn’s past that we’ll be seeing in season 2, either. There will be a lot of pressure on the family, and that seems bound to cause some cracks.

The Bloodline Twitter account revealed the premiere date in a post that highlighted that there’s a lot that viewers still don’t know. No surprises there.

In addition to Chandler and Mendelsohn, Bloodline also stars Linda Cardellini, Sam Shepard, Sissy Spacek, Norbert Leo Butz, Jamie McShane, Jacinda Barrett, and Enrique Murciano. The Netflix series comes from KZK Productions and Sony Pictures Television.

Bloodline season 2 hits Netflix on May 27.

Netflix has generally weathered the aftermath of the 2023 Hollywood strikes better than its streaming rivals. However, Netflix's lineup in May looks significantly weaker than in the recent past. There's a distinct lack of blockbuster movies from other studios. Even Netflix's original series are slowing down this month. The most significant arrival is Bridgerton season 3, and Netflix is splitting that season into two parts, making fans wait until June to get some closure.

There are other highlights, including Jerry Seinfeld's Unfrosted, Blood of Zeus, and the complete run of the animated spy comedy Archer. But compared to the shows and movies that Netflix had earlier in 2024, it's really lackluster.

Netflix is home to many great shows. It's also the most prolific and well-known streaming service of them all, with a large catalog of original and acquired content. However, the King of Streamers is also famous for being quite trigger-happy. Indeed, Netflix is no stranger to canceling its shows, even if it spent millions producing them; if they don't yield immediate results, the streamer will pull the plug without blinking an eye.

Still, many original shows have beaten the cancellation curse and had a successful life, at least by streaming standards. These shows are Netflix's best efforts that actually got to enjoy a full life cycle, receiving more than five seasons. None might come close to the 100-episode mark, but these beloved series prove to hopeful showrunners everywhere that there is indeed life on Netflix after season 5.
