All good things must come to an end. THR reports the Bloodline TV show will end after its upcoming third season on Netflix. Back in July, when the streaming outlet renewed Bloodline, a fourth season was expected, too. For now though, consider Bloodline cancelled after season three. The family thriller drama stars Kyle Chandler, Sissy Spacek, Ben Mendelsohn, Linda Cardellini, and Norbert Leo Butz,
According to a more in-depth THR story on Hollywood’s Netflix backlash, relations between the streamer and Sony (from which Bloodline hails) are said to have grown tense, because of production issues on Baz Luhrmann’s new series, The Get Down. THR adds this disclaimer: “Both Netflix and Sony deny there are tensions between them, and Sony television still has a lot of business with Netflix.”
Here is more from The Hollywood Reporter:
Netflix had notified Sony that the upcoming season, set for 2017, would be the show’s final outing on the platform. The streamer also cut the episode order from 13 episodes to 10, and slashed licensing fees on the show. Still, the two companies deny there are tensions between them. It’s unclear whether Sony will try and shop future seasons of Bloodline elsewhere.
THR points out that cancellations are a rare occurrence for Netflix shows. Aside from Bloodline, the only other original series cancelled by Netflix are Norway crime drama Lilyhammer and Hemlock Grove, both of which were cancelled after their third seasons.
Creators and executive producers Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler have said they had planned for five to six seasons, total. Still, they acknowledged that might be a difficult reach, since the Florida tax incentives ended.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Bloodline TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed after season three?
I would love for there to be more seasons.
Please continue Bloodline! I love the show, and there are still questions left unanswered!
Just started watching and am almost done with 1st season. Sorry to hear it is ending!! Just got hooked on it!
I’m begging you to continue “Bloodline.” This is one of the best shows on tv. Fantastic writing, well drawn characters, flawless acting — I want more. It’s painful to watch this family’s downward spiral and yet I can’t look away; I want to know more!
Please continue producing “Bloodline.” This show is absolutely fantastic.
Please keep Bloodline running.
This show is absolutely awesome. It’s terrifying but mesmerizing. The storyline, the acting, the writing!! It’s so true to real life! Don’t say it isn’t about this Florida location (and the financial ramifications). Seems all these “reality” shows – real life with known cameras, no plot, point or talent have no problems. This is a huge mistake!! And the spin offs that could’ve made up for your egos & bank accounts….wake up.
This is one of the best shows ever! Please don’t end it. Love this show. The acting is amazing and the plot is magnificent! More, more please!
So do we get to find out where the investigation ends?
Are you kidding me? This is one of the BEST dramas to come along in a VERY long time. Almost every episode leaves you wanting more and you can’t wait to watch the next one. PLEASE do not not take one of the best drama series away from the viewing public. We love this series.
This is an awesome show. Please do not cancel it! I just started watching the first episodes of season 2 and assumed this show would be around for a few more seasons. Please work it out and keep it going.
Why ? Because it’s a great show I guess, if the end this I won’t be getting Netflix anymore!
PLEASE BRING BLOODLINE BACK FOR 4 AND MORE SEASONS. LOVE THIS SHOW.
Bloodline is the best series ever done. Please don’t end it prematurely.
3rd season will air
