We don’t have to wonder if the Animal Kingdom TV series will be cancelled by TNT this time around. The show’s already been renewed for a sixth and final season. Will it go out in a blaze of glory — with high ratings to match? Stay tuned.
A crime drama, Animal Kingdom stars Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Finn Cole, Sohvi Rodriguez, Leila George, and Jon Beavers. The story revolves around the Cody crime family who has now lost its matriarch. In the fifth season, Pope (Hatosy), Craig (Robson), Deran (Weary), and J (Cole) are still dealing with the fallout from the events surrounding Smurf’s death, including family members out for revenge. With their kingdom without a leader, the Codys struggle to maintain their fragile alliance and to see which of them will come out on top. Meanwhile, they search for more information on Pamela Johnson whom Smurf made the beneficiary of her estate. And back in 1984, an increasingly volatile 29-year-old Smurf is forging her own path raising Pope and Julia and leading the charge on dangerous jobs with new and old friends.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Animal Kingdom TV series on TNT? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a sixth and final season?
Animal Kingdom is a go-to series. Complex characters, plots, relationships, and cinematography. Keep it going pleas.
Love the show, BUT not as good with Smurf gone.
The loss of Smurf took some air out of this balloon. Although I love all the boys, Ellen was a heavyweight, a good villainess. The flashbacks don’t make up for her absence in real-time. In fact, I find them a distraction.
Great show keep it going.
Animal Kingdom was much better with Smurf!!

Love animal kingdom awesome you brought it back!
Love Animal Kingdom
