Animal Kingdom is an American crime drama television series developed by Jonathan Lisco.

Animal Kingdom premiered on TNT on June 14, 2016, with the first season consisting of 10 episodes. Starting with the second season, each subsequent season consisted of 13 episodes. The second season premiered on May 30, 2017. The third season premiered on May 29, 2018. The fourth season premiered on May 28, 2019. The fifth season premiered on July 11, 2021. The sixth and final season premiered on June 19, 2022. The series concluded on August 28, 2022, after six seasons for a total of 75 episodes. It was the final scripted original series to air on TNT before the production of original programming was ceased.

Premise

[edit]

The series centers on Joshua "J" Cody who, after the death of his mother when he was 17 years old, moves in with his estranged relatives, the Codys, who run a criminal family enterprise set in Oceanside, California, that is governed by the respected matriarch Janine "Smurf" Cody.

The Codys partake in numerous criminal activities and pull off various heists to make money. These jobs are undertaken by J's uncles: Barry "Baz" Blackwell, Smurf's adopted son who calls the shots; Andrew "Pope" Cody, the oldest and most dangerous of Smurf's sons; Craig Cody, the tough and fearless middle son; and Deran Cody, the troubled and suspicious youngest son. Associates of the Cody family include Catherine Belen, Baz's live-in girlfriend and mother of their daughter Lena; Nicky Belmont, J's girlfriend and fellow high school student; Lucy, Baz's mistress from Mexico; and Mia Benitez, a young gang member and member of the Trujillo family.

A younger Smurf, who is a member of a crew of career criminals while establishing her future criminal enterprise, is also depicted in the years 1977, 1984, 1992 and 1999. Members of her crew include Jake Dunmore, her on-again/off-again boyfriend; Manny, the leader of her crew, and later her children; teenagers Andrew and Baz and her only daughter, Julia Cody.
