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[...]

But if Deran is ready to take what he feels is his, then he best be prepared to come face-to-face with Pope (Hatosy). Image: Screencaps Here's a teaser profile look at Pope, who starts the season with a power-sharing agreement with J (Cole)- but how long can that last? Because as Pope says in the following clip,[...]

I just want a little bit of communication as to when I can expect my favorite Cody boys (which are all of them except Pope) back on my TV screen As much as the network might like building up anticipation, it also comes with the danger of a backlash Their official twitter bio simply says[...]

Welcome again to my weekly look at the fourth season of TNT's Animal Kingdom, dear readers! Sadly, this is the last one of the season – but let's not get too sad, because what a finale "Smurf" was! To speak in the surfer vernacular, hella spoilers are ahead, man… in case you're new around here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wao9VI749oQVideo can't[...]

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[...]

Well…we did find out at the end of last episode that Smurf knows and she's firmly told Deran to take care of it – or she will send Pope to Ominous, and it clearly has Deran out of sorts. Speaking of Pope, he and his serial killer instincts are paranoid, creepy, and alarming as ever…all at[...]

*Sigh* When will the boys learn that they should either just accept the learning curve of planning their own heists or accept Smurf's overbearing helicopter-heist love? Oh yeah, and speaking of Smurf… how does she celebrate her return from her surveillance vacation? She throws a rager of a house party, complete with a taco cart, loads[...]

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[...]

Clearly, they are having a domestic disagreement over how to handle the situation. Pope (Shawn Hatosy) is still on his shit: he roadhoused Smurf's bedroom, cornered Lena in her new life with her new family (a big no-no), and – oh yeah! He told his brothers that Smurf is dying of cancer Oops, so much for[...]

Welcome to my new favorite episode of TNT's Animal Kingdom! Come in, get comfortable, enjoy some of the cake and champagne I set out, because "Ambo" gets wild and crazy – ier, crazier than usual. Well, on a crazy scale of one to Pope, let's put it at like an eleven… hundred Shall we begin? Spoilers!!!! With[...]

Really, Angela is just good for riling everyone up about Smurf's impending future of being a cancer-ridden health burden for the boys to deal with, and they are so not prepared. Supposedly Smurf is keeping Angela around because she keeps Pope calm Oh, joy Speaking of people keeping calm, 70s Janine is anything but It seems[...]

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[...]

Pope is of course being extra in his head and Angela is trying to pry him out of it Of course, Smurf is meddling again and trying to get in Angela's head to convince her not to go after Pope Confusing? Yes Messed up? Totally. Back in the 70s, baby Smurf (aka Janine, aka Leila George),[...]

rock…Pope vs Sanity…Boys vs Smurf… this week's episode of the CW's Animal Kingdom "Man Vs Rock" is like trying to figure out a brain teaser…while upside down on a roller coaster. So last week's episode left off with Craig taking Frankie's art heist job to the rest of the boys, J feeling Smurf close in on[...]

In the newest behind-the-scenes look at TNT's "Animal Kingdom," creator John Wells, actress Ellen Barkin, and more discuss the extent of Smurf's power.
