Unfortunately, we regret to inform the fans that Bloodline Season 4 has been canceled by Netflix, and any chances of the future possibility for the series renewal after three seasons seems unlikely to happen for the said time being.
On July 13, 2016, Netflix announced the renewal of Bloodline for a 10-episode third season, which was later confirmed to be the last season. On May 26, 2017, the third and final season was published.
Check out this interview with Norbert Leo Butz and producer Todd A. Kessler as they discuss the highly praised Netflix series’ conclusion.
Was there ever going to be Bloodline Season 4?
Yes, the series creators and executive producers Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman, and Glenn Kessler have said that they had a five- or six-season plan for the drama.
“We’re doing a TV series, so even in our own mind, we’re asking ourselves, ‘Does this series have seasons in it?’” Daniel Zelman stated in the article by The Hollywood Reporter.
He further added, “When we pitched it and we thought about it, we were thinking five to six seasons down the line because we wanted to make sure it could hold that much material. So we certainly have ideas for where everything could go and hopefully where everything will go.”

Why did Netflix cancel Season 4 of Bloodline?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, an article released in 2016, the news was released about the cancelation of Bloodline Season 4, which implied financial problems and later added that the future of the Florida-set drama was called into question when the state “cut its entertainment tax incentives program, therefore making the series much more costly to produce.”
In a Variety report, it was stated that Bloodline Season 3 would be the show’s final season. “Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler are thoughtful and visionary storytellers, who lead a prestigious cast, that includes Kyle Chandler and Ben Mendelsohn, who have both garnered two Emmy nominations for their roles on the series. Together, with our collaborative partners at Sony Pictures Television, they created a seductive show that Netflix viewers worldwide love and continue to discover. We are looking forward to the exciting climax KZK have in store for the series conclusion in May 2017,” Netflix’s Vice President of Original Content, Cindy Holland said in a statement released to Variety.

Bloodline on Netflix. Season 1 was perfection, season 3 was nonsense. https://t.co/6vJy5z3M3F

Netflix’s downfall started when season 3 of Bloodline came out, huge red flag for me.
Also its problem with way too over budget and unnecessary documentaries that look like were made with a 100 million dollar budget. (No one cares about the cinematography in a murder story).

#Netflix #bloodline , soo disappointed ☹️with season 3, 10 hours of my life I won’t get back.

Moreover, concerning the show’s open-ended climax, many criticized it, citing its lacking clarity. Todd Kessler told The Hollywood Reporter, “So much of this third season is about putting the audience in the shoes of these characters, trying to align the audience with the character’s predicament. It’s not meant to write out that whole scene and have it portrayed, because, in essence, we’re watching it play out”.
Furthermore, he added and explained the following to the season’s finale; by that point, the audience should be able to put themselves in the shoes of the characters.“in the shoes of the characters” and decide for themselves what happens next to the characters and the story.
Will Bloodline Season 4 ever happen in the future?
At the moment, Bloodline is done for good, with no intentions to renew it or resurrect the series for another season of Bloodline Season 4.
“We’re really happy with the end,” Todd Kessler told Bustle last year, shutting down hopes of salvation on an alternate streaming service or network. “Overall it really feels like a complete piece, and I think that’s the goal of storytelling.”
