Animal Kingdom is making a small casting change. Rigo Sanchez, who appeared on the series during season four as a recurring member, will be a regular member of the cast for season five.
Deadline revealed the following about Sanchez’s role on the TNT series:
“In season 4, Sanchez’s Manny was the leader of a group of career criminals. He’s shrewd, ruthless, the brains of the operation and the “parent” of the crew. He appeared in 10 episodes. In season 5, the dynamics between Janine, Manny (Sanchez), and Jake (Jon Beavers) are shifting as the crew comes back together and Janine decides she wants to operate out of a little town called Oceanside.”
An exact premiere date for Animal Kingdom season five has not yet been revealed. The series will air on the network later this year.

I’m really going to miss Smurf I think she was the show. I’m still going to watch but I doubt that a will be a season 6. I can’t understand why the writers killed her off but you know the old soap operas of the past used to kill off people and miraculously bring them back hint,hint. But I’m still going to watch.
I absolutely Love this show! Smurf or no Smurf. The boys have their own little quirks, gotta love them all. Looking forward to what the next season has in store for us.
I could care less to watch this show. They made the biggest mistake killing off the best character of the show, Smurf! Ellen Barkin is who made this show! Without her, the boys are a bunch of obnoxious amateurs
I won’t miss Smurf and her walking like she has a stick up both of her lower orifices and saying “Baby” every other word.
