Animal Kingdom has some new company. Deadline reports Alex Meraz will recur on season two of the TNT TV series.

The drama revolves around a 17-year-old named “J” (Finn Cole) who moves in with his deceased mother’s family — a Southern California clan of criminals. The cast also includes Ellen Barkin, Scott Speedman, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Daniella Alonso, and Molly Gordon.

Meraz will play “Javi Cano, a dangerous man in his early 30s who is the son of one of the men Smurf used to pull jobs with before her own sons came of age. He is part of a violent, treacherous clan and his mysterious capacity for cruelty will set him and his crew on a collision course with Smurf that threatens to tear the Codys apart.”
