TNT has been making a concerted effort to beef up its edgy dramas. And while the cable network has cancelled many, its gritty Animal Kingdom TV show performed well enough to score a second season. How long will its lucky streak continue? Will Animal Kingdom be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
This TNT crime drama stars Ellen Barkin, Scott Speedman, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Finn Cole, and Molly Gordon. In season two, the recurring cast includes Alex Meraz, Jennifer Landon, and Tembi Locke. A television adaption of the 2010 Australian feature film, the Animal Kingdom TV show centers on Joshua “J” Cody (Cole). After his mom dies from a heroin overdose, J moves in with his estranged grandmother — Janine “Smurf” Cody (Barkin) — and her unruly clan of criminals. The second season opens with the Codys up to no good. When their heist fails to proceed as planned, it shakes up the family dynamics. As a threat from Smurf’s past emerges, they must decide whether to break away, or rally to her side.

Most definitely NEED another season or six! Really and truly enjoy this show. How could you not? If it’s too violent for some of you to watch, turn on Sesame Street or get a DVD player and watch your Chipmunk movies. But don’t complain about us that know real entertainment when it’s right in front of us. It’s truly ridiculous to cancel such a great show after two terrific seasons, no excuses

Me and my husband love Animal Kingdom, great cast. I’m addicted and hope this show goes for a very long time.
I would cancel the show, it has yet to answer the question of what happened to the army money that was stolen in last seasons show. Not cool
my favorite tv show- please renew it for next season- I so look forward to Tuesday nights GREAT SHOW !
YES ………..Renew season 3 for sure!!!!!!!!!! ,,This show is excellent …The Acting /writing is great !..every episode kicks ass
The show has good potential, but it doesn’t compare at all to Season 1. The show is weaker. They need to rid itself of unnecessary storylines to bring back credibility to the show. Some of it is becoming silly. I hope Season 3 is better.
