We’re finally edging closer to the launch of Animal Kingdom Season 5 after a year and a half break due to the global pandemic. Indeed we are counting until the premiere until something closer to an exciting and thrilling trailer looks. However, for now, we’ll deem whatever briefer or long term we’ll get, exactly like the one we have now. It hints that the family would pay a massive cost for what they did up to now.
Animal Kingdom accommodated from 2010’s Australian film of the same title. It follows the criminal Cody clan who commits crime and robberies to stay adrift. In which Janine”Smurf” Cody (Ellen Barkin) frequently played with the mastermind of these illegal actions. That was afterward joined by Joshua”J” Cody (Finn Cole), that shortly challenges Smurf to get the power to rule out the clan.
In the outbreak of the COVID-19, the creation for the fifth season stopped. But, it took several months to continue filming beneath the security protocols. While we had been speculating when filming will restart, the news broke that they begin filming. In September, the entire cast and crew members returned to the sets to continue filming. Soon in December, Pope actor Shawn Hatosy shared Instagram that they’ve wrapped up filming the fifth season.
In the last season, we saw Smurf diagnosed with terminal cancer and decided to plan an amplified heist so that Smurf could die on her own terms. But she planned to shoot Pope together with her before this could happen, and Smurf’s grandson J shot her dead. On the other hand, the next half will follow exactly the Cody family’s life, where youthful Smurf would begin raising twins Julia and Pope. There, we will discover how Smurf raised them by working on dangerous jobs with the help of old and new friends.
Well, it is apparent that many characters of the series would return. These include Shawn Hatosy as Andrew “Pope” Cody, Ben Robson as Craig Cody, Jake Weary as Deran Cody, and Finn Cole as Joshua “J” Cody. Elsewhere we should also expect new cast members in the younger version of the Cody family based on 1984 flashbacks. Further, there’s no news about who’ll play Smurf, whether they will cast someone else or de-age Ellen.
