What do you think? Are you glad that the Animal Kingdom TV show has been renewed for a fifth season? How would you feel if TNT had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Fantastic show, loved that it’s filmed in S.D. Area
We wish it was long than eight episodes. Looking forward for future seasons!!!
Please do not cancel this show! Wish you’d have longer seasons. I hate having to wait to next year crap. This is why people stop watching cause you have short seasons then you make them wait to long between seasons. People do move on if they are away from their favorite show to long!
Love this show – I recommend it to others all the time!
Absolutely, love this show it is way different than all the superhero, comedies and supernatural shows in TV. There is so much more stories that can develop with or without Smurf still being alive. Like a new crew invading on there hits. Please renew Season 5.
Omg you have to renew it, I love it. It’s my fave show and I love Pope. He’s my fave.
Please renew love the show
Yes please, fifth season. Lose Mia and keep Bones
Absolutely, love, love, love Ellen Barkin has always been one of my favorite actresses. She and the actors who play her sons are on fire. Please let her live and continue on with the story. There isn’t anything like Animal Kingdom out there to watch. Thank you, the show is great!
Please please please please renew Animal Kingdom for another season it’s the BEST show out there and I LOVE THE CODYS!!!!
Please continue with season 5…you guys got me hooked..love it!
Yes, please for a fifth season!
Yes Animal Kingdom should definitely be renewed for season 5. It’s the best show on TV.
Totally agree
I love this show, but my only problem was why couldn’t you run more episodes? I thought that, back when we were getting 13 episode seasons, now it’s back down to season 1’s 10!! WHY? We get 3 months of a good show, to get really into it, then to find out, hey season finale is coming up, then 9 months of waiting!! With the crap that’s on tv, this show would do great if you went up to 15-18 episodes a year, and cut the wait time from 9 months to 6 months. I know it’s all about money,… Read more »
I Agree Wholeheartedly! Love Love The Show Animal Kingdom!!
Starting to yawn. The “far-fetchedness” is a bit tiring. It’s ok if I’m weeded up.
I have to agree. It’s becoming the same old, same old. Now that Smurf is terminally sick, I think this is the last season.
Smurf ain’t gonna die — but some other people will!
Sorry, smurf died… J got his wish
one of the best shows going. they should drive it til the wheels come off.
