'Bloodline' is coming back for a third season as Netflix renews the family drama

There’s no longer any question as to whether Bloodline will get a third season — Netflix announced today that the Rayburn family drama has been renewed. Moving forward, fans can instead wonder: The Keys or not the Keys?

The Rayburns’ dark secrets have been the subject of the Netflix original series for two seasons so far, and what they’ve been hiding has been far from small. The dark series deals with drugs, trafficking, and homicide, including the season 1 murder of — spoiler alert — Danny Rayburn (played by Ben Mendelsohn) at the hands of his brother John (Kyle Chandler). The guilty brother spent season 2 coping with his actions and trying to hide the truth, but as things spiraled out of control at the end of the season, he took off.

The official Bloodline Twitter account shared an image that hinted at changes ahead. As in the finale, John is shown driving his truck toward a sign that says, “Now leaving the Keys.”

Bloodline season 3 will consist of 10 more episodes, reports Variety. The show’s creators-slash-executive producers, Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman, and Glenn Kessler, will again serve as directors.

“Todd, Daniel, and Glenn have created a riveting family saga featuring one of the most talented ensembles in the history of television. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds for the all-too-human Rayburns,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix’s VP of original content, according to Variety.

The skilled actors who play the Rayburns, living and dead, will be back as well, including Chandler, Mendelsohn, Sissy Spacek, Linda Cardellini, and Norbert Leo Butz. No release date has been revealed yet, but Netflix plans to premiere season 3 in 2017.

Like the hit Netflix series Bodies? Then watch these three shows just like it
Jacob Fortune-Lloyd in Bodies.

Thanks to its fairly unconventional premise, there are few shows exactly like Bodies. The new Netflix series, which follows four British detectives from different points in history who all find themselves investigating the same crime, is a fairly unique spin on the crime procedural.

As a result, finding shows that feel exactly like Bodies can be a bit challenging. Fortunately, we've pulled a few options together that should give you some of the same things that you liked so much about Bodies.

Check out this great romantic drama before it leaves Netflix next week
Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen as Lizzie and Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice.

In spite of the many wonderful movie adaptations that have come out of her work, Jane Austen is still viewed, at least in certain circles, as old-fashioned or boring in the same way that many authors from the 19th century are. If you ever find yourself harboring the delusion that Austen's work isn't interesting, though, all you really need to do is watch Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice.

Even though it's a faithful adaptation of its source material, the movie springs to life almost immediately and uses the conventions of its story to its advantage. Unfortunately, if you want to check the movie out on Netflix, you only have until the end of October. Here are three reasons you should take the time to do exactly that.
