Having left the medium at a high point, Kyle Chandler, who is still best known as Coach Eric Taylor from the football-themed drama series "Friday Night Lights," is still taking a break from TV .

"Friday Night Lights" ended in 2011, while it was still beloved by fans and critics (it won two Emmys that year). In the next few years, Chandler tried film on for size for a while, appearing in hits such as "Super 8" (2011) and "Argo" (2012).

Now he's back to series storytelling, though still not on TV.

He'll debut this March in a new Netflix original series, "Bloodline." The series is described as a "dramatic thriller" about the Rayburn family, whose black-sheep son comes home and "threatens to expose the Rayburns' dark secrets and shameful past, pushing his siblings to the limits of family loyalty."

Netflix is designed for marathon viewing, so all 13 episodes of the show's first season will be available at once when the show "premieres" on the site on March 20.

Chandler's in good company on this one, starring in an ensemble cast along with former "ER" star Linda Cardellini and film-and-TV great Sissy Spacek (of 1976's "Carrie," 1980's "Coal Miner's Daughter," and about a million other films and TV shows).
