From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Bloodline - the most unexpectedly dark drama of last year's new TV shows - is returning to Netflix this May.

The first season starred Ben Mendelsohn as Danny Rayburn, the black sheep of a respected Flordia Keys family, who returns home causing heightened tensions for brothers John (Kyle Chandler) and Kevin (Norbert Leo Butz), sister Meg (Linda Cardellini) and mother Sally (Sissy Spacek).

This season which is due for release on 27 May will pick up where the first left off with John, Meg and Kevin (Norbert Leo Butz) attempting to restore their lives after the irrevocable act Danny's actions forced them to commit.


John Leguizamo and Andrea Riseborough have both joined the cast for the show's ten-episode sophomore season playing shady characters from Danny's past while Mendelsohn, Chloë Sevigny and Jacinda Barrett will all return.

Bloodline was created by Todd A Kessler, Glenn Kessler and Daniel Zelman - the team behind legal thriller Damages - for Netflix.

Both Friday Night Lights star Chandler and Mississippi Grind's Ben Mendelsohn, who'll appear in the upcoming Star Wars prequel Rogue One, were Emmy-nominated for their roles.
