Animal Kingdom has signaled the new tone for TNT dramas and is moving the network in the direction we hoped it would. I’m confident that our strategy of working with high-caliber talent and then getting out of their way will continue to pay off.”
What do you think? Have you been watching Animal Kingdom? Are you glad it’s been renewed?
I love the show and thank you for season 5 and six. I live in South Africa so I need to down load every show and watch the next day. I also work night shift so its not easy.
love this show soooo happy its back!!!!!!!!
This is my favorite show! I’m very glad it got renewed for a second season and I honestly hope it sky rockets into more and more seasons to come! Keep this show going! People will love it! Great summer show!
I enjoyed last night’s episode which leaves me uncertain as to how it will continue. I don’t think the TNT does a good enough job of promoting this show. I read in both the Sunday’s NY Times and LA Times and it was NOT listed as one of the top shows to watch this summer. Looking forward to episode no. 2.
