What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the TNT cable channel, 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.
Season Five Ratings
The fifth season of Animal Kingdom averaged a 0.19 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 894,000 viewers. Compared to season four, that’s down by 43% in the demo and down by 26% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are typically renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Animal Kingdom stacks up against other TNT TV shows.
Animal Kingdom has been renewed for a sixth and final season which will debut on June 19, 2022. Stay tuned for further updates.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Animal Kingdom TV show has been renewed for a sixth and final season? How would you feel if TNT had cancelled this TV series, instead?
This is literally the best show ever made! It would be so disappointing if they didn’t continue to at-least one last season to see how things leave off at this is such an amazing show I can’t take the waiting I can’t wait they better not end it this way!
Keep the show for season 6 and beyond if possible !
One of the best shows ever and of course it’s too short lived. Better have a finale with fulfilling closure or it’ll go down in tv history as a waste of time like LOST. Hope instead it has a memorable ending (without killing our beloved characters) Writers get to work and make us proud of our investment of loyalty and time.
Yes love the show I watch only online not tv so I dont get the updates. Was surprised to see s5 e1. I am looking forward to see what happens. Love the cast, Elene Barkin is an all time favorite of mine. Will watch to the end of this show.
