TNT continues to move towards gritty programming as evidenced by their new Animal Kingdom drama series. Previous attempts haven’t worked out very well in the ratings so it remains to be seen if this one will be different. Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
Animal Kingdom 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. Heading up the family is J’s unpredictable and manipulative grandmother, Janine “Smurf” Cody (Ellen Barkin). The rest of the cast includes Scott Speedman, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Daniella Alonso, and Molly Gordon.
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 watching the Animal Kingdom TV series on TNT? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
DO NOT waste your time!! This show is awful
This show is horrible!! The worst I’ve seen in years
I found this show because of Finn Cole ..Fan of his from Peaky Blinders…
Please all of you stop watching this. This show is way to vulgar for television.
People not watching doesn’t kill TV shows. SYFY renewed 12 Monkeys with an average of a 0.11(now it’s a 0.12) rating per show, making it the worst rated scripted show in TV history to be renewed. Animal Kingdom is averaging over a 0.40 per episode, and is the BEST NEW SHOW OF THE SUMMER!
There is a huge difference between 12 monkeys and AK. David Levy has committed a whole boat load of money to rebrand TNT. Numbers like these don’t get that done. Advertisers are complaining regarding the increase in fees and TNT not delivering the numbers. I am a numbers girl, the show is a failure for what is was expected to do. Don’t think it is a Reilly pet project? The fact that it was quickly renewed after it hit that five FOR ONE WEEK ONLY proved that. Meanwhile, all the other shows have had to wait until the end of… Read more »
Enjoying this show so far. Have not seen the movie but might check it out. Hope it is not cancelled.
My older brother tells me about TV shows I might like. I had to watch Animal Kingdom Pilot twice to know which son was which, but I like Ellen Barkin & watched first three episodes today. I love it & think there’s more trouble awaiting the Family.
I did not see film & had no idea what to expect.
If anyone had ever seen the movie you would have been prepared for what the show was going to be about. I think they did an awesome job at staying on track with the original story line but I unless they slow the story down i am not sure how they are going to make it a second season. Great show for someone who enjoyed Sons of Anarchy/Outsiders/Vikings.
Horrible disgusting show, hope it’s cancelled quickly
Already renewed for a SECOND SEASON! Happy Days Are Here Again!
Disgusting show about a disgusting family.
Awesome show!! Almost like having soa back but surfer men love it

This show is a convoluted mess & should be canceled immediately.
It’s trying too hard
Please don’t watch this show. It is violent and there is way too much sex. Please don’t watch it.
Greg, you can change the Ch anytime.
A 0.4 is okay for cable, but I had higher hopes. Let’s hope the ratings go up next week.
