Animal Kingdom Sets Premiere For Final Season - Collider

There seems to be only one more job for the Cody family. TNT has announced the premiere date for the sixth and final season of their critically acclaimed crime-family drama series Animal Kingdom. The conclusion to the series kicks off in June with a back-to-back premiere of the first two episodes.

The announcement was accompanied by a short, minute-long teaser trailer that promises an explosive and violent conclusion to the series. The trailer shows the Cody's deciding to take on "one last job" for a payout of $5 million, in hopes that this will give them the chance to "start fresh." Trouble is brewing for the whole family, however, as Pope's past actions are coming back to haunt him. A detective is now investigating him for the murder of Catherine, which he committed back in the show's first season and whose body was discovered in the season 5 finale. The trailer is capped off with the phrase, "We've buried enough family. This needs to end."

Animal Kingdom first premiered back in 2016 and stars Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Finn Cole, and Leila George. The show was developed for television by Jonathan Lisco and was inspired by the 2010 Australian film of the same name written and directed by David Michôd. The story of the series focuses on the Cody's, a criminal family located in Oceanside, California. The series follows the family as they continue to grow their empire, facing off with both the law, those outside of it, and each other.
