    Bloodline follows an orphaned girl named Bird Benson (The Nine Lives of Chloe King‘s Skyler Samuels) who’s caught between two families of murderers and mercenaries. In order to eventually have a normal life, Bird learns, she must defeat her mother — Strickland’s character — via mortal combat.

    Strickland’s Stella is described as the strikingly beautiful daughter of a family of killers and brigands headed by Jonathan Banks’ Leo – a role similar to that of The Bride in Kill Bill.

    Strickland played sharp-tongued Charlotte King for six seasons of Private Practice, which recently wrapped production.

    Bloodline is written by David Graziano (Felicity) and directed by Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights).
