With the fifth season of TNT's Animal Kingdom set to hit the ground running on Sunday, July 11 (9 pm ET/8 pm CT), Deran (Jake Weary), Pope (Shawn Hatosy), Craig (Ben Robson), and J (Finn Cole) face a whole new world that they're in control of now that Smurf (Ellen Barkin) has shuffled off this mortal coil[...]

While fans of Animal Kingdom await Deran (Jake Weary), Pope (Shawn Hatosy), Craig (Ben Robson), and Joshua "J" Cody's (Finn Cole) return this summer for the show's fifth season, they're also learning the names of some new faces coming aboard the popular TNT crime drama series for its sixth and final season. Jasper Polish (Force of[...]

Up until now, TNT has been rolling out a "Codys Roll Call" to see where Deran (Jake Weary), Pope (Shawn Hatosy), Craig (Ben Robson), and Joshua "J" Cody's (Finn Cole) heads are at heading into the penultimate fifth season Now that Smurf (Ellen Barkin) has shuffled off the show's mortal coil, the 13-episode run (and a[...]

With Adrian gone after a season that found him having to be on the defense most of the season, Deran's (Weary) done being seen as the "youngest Cody"- as you're about to see in the following teaser profile. Images: Screencaps Here's a look at the clip showcasing Deran, who's done waiting on the sidelines and is ready[...]

Of course, some of the boys would rather leave it all behind them (ahem, looking at you Deran), but at the end of the day, they're all in this together. Sadly, that means Angela too (yes, she is still around) Why? Because, as she keeps telling people, "I'm with Pope now." *GAG!* It looks like she'll[...]

Welcome back to my little corner of action-packed television, friends! Pull up some couch, make yourself comfy, and dig into the popcorn, because there is plenty of need for it with tonight's episode of TNT's Animal Kingdom: "Ghosts." What is the fate of Deran's boyfriend, Adrian? Will Angela be even more manipulative towards J? Does Pope[...]

Remember when she taught J how to do that and they pulled basically the same job? Well, now it's come full circle! We jump back to the present with Deran even more torn up than ever about Adrian's situation It's probably because he finally realized there's nothing to do about it – nothing in Deran's bag[...]

This gives Craig an out to raising a kid, something that he's clearly unsure of and probably terrified of, but he stands up for himself, Renn, and their new son (who they name Nick). Deran is still eaten up about Adrian's situation, and it doesn't help matters that Craig keeps pressing him about why he wanted[...]

Trapped with Smurf and becoming increasingly unhinged, Pope has found new and dangerous ways to deal with his anger, J continues to scheme about how to take over the family business, Craig plots one of their most difficult heists and Deran is worried about his future with Adrian. As always, outsiders move in to threaten the[...]

Directed by David Rodriguez and written by Bradley Paul. J is undercover working things from inside festival operations while Deran, Pope, and Craig roll up in their ambulance and jack the sound and light consoles as well as knocking out everyone on the tour buses and relieving them of their cash and jewelry. Honestly, I don't really[...]

Before we go diving into the newst season four episode of TNT's Animal Kingdom, "Into the Black" – where do things stand ? We know that Smurf has cancer, and Pope knows; Frankie is trying to manipulate the Cody boys into being her new crew (which will not happen); Adrian is in serious hot water[...]

Maybe what J and Deran have been saying really have gotten to him and he doesn't trust her as much as he thinks he does. Animal Kingdom/TNT Speaking of Craig…things get even more twisty when Ren, his pregnant drug dealer girlfriend-type-person shows up at his house So twisty! And in a final twist of tonight's twister episode, Pope[...]

If you need a quick refresher of the first couple episodes of this season or just looking for your fix of the Cody boys, this clip is the perfect thing for you. Spoiler Alert! There are some pretty major spoilers for this and the previous season, so if you're not caught up… what are you doing[...]

In this week's episode, we meet the titular Angela (Emily Deschanel)… but we'll get to that later. We pick up right where we left off last episode: J (Finn Cole) is divvying up everyone's cut from the heist, Craig (Ben Robson) gives Pope the third degree about exactly what's going on inside his head, and Smurf[...]

With the money in the van and most of the muscle on easily-crashable bikes, the Cody boys have their target. Deran and Craig are on bike detail, which they do with pleasure, gleefully running every single Harley off the road on their (far sexier) imports; this leaves Baz and Pope with the task of hitting the[...]

Deran (Jake Weary) involves Adrian (Spencer Treat Clark) in the family business despite warnings from Craig, as J (Finn Cole) tests the waters of his new identity outside the Cody empire A new criminal crew is introduced with a surprising connection to the Codys. The premiere opens with an epic bank heist that we don't realize[...]

J (Cole) continues to scheme about how to take over the family business, Craig (Robson) plots one of their most difficult heists and Deran (Weary) is worried about his future with Adrian (Spencer Treat Clark). As always, outsiders move in to threaten the Cody's fragile peace, including Angela (Deschanel), the former best friend of J's deceased[...]

That'll be especially awkward with Pope (Shawn Hatosy) off the rails now that he doesn't have Lena (Aamya Deva Keroles) to ground him and last we saw he was moving in with Smurf. As far as Deran (Jake Weary), we don't really see much of him in this – maybe he's flying straight (metaphorically speaking) these[...]
