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?
Is it time for Season 5 of Animal Kingdom to come back on yet? So excited for some action/drama that is not typical and boring to be back on T.V.. I believe Smurf’s character had run it’s course {how many more creepy-ish things could she have done with her sons?}
I’m sure her friend from the past will take over the Cody boys and will prove to be quite interesting.
я надеюсь Эмили Дешанель заменит Элен Баркин
I am very happy that the show was picked up for a 5the season. Extremely entertaining. Will E. Barkin be written back into the show? I hope you find a way to do that. Brainstorm everyone!
When does season 5 start
I love this show it’s the best one I have ever watched I look forward to seeing season 5 I really hope for many more season of Animal Kingdom please keep them coming with every season they get more and more intense love it thank you for another season
Anxiously awaiting season 5 to see if my instincts for taking over the reign is true! This has been one of the best series I’ve watched, binge watching all 4 seasons and couldn’t wait for every episode in season 4! Great actors s that keep you on your toes in every scene.
definitely need at least a season five to show how the future of the Cody Boys carry on their legacy without smurf
Loved the show cant wait till season 5 airs. when does season 5 start?
I. Love the. Show. Animal Kingdom. When. Does. Season. 5. Start ??
I just caught up on all season s I love show hope it return they can always put Smurf back in as the boys remember her hope it comes back
I just got into this show a month ago and binged all 4 seasons. I gotta say the show is great. At first Pope frightened me, but now I’m rooting for him to get a little peace and happiness in his life. Shawn Hatosy plays that character so well.
So glad to hear it’s being renewed!
One of the best series on TV – good news it’s been renewed. Can’t wait to see who takes over from Smurf! Spread the word about how good this is – up there with the best in my opinion.
