The Productions Have Started
As per the latest reports, views and fans can hope that Animal Kingdom Season 5 will premiere sometime in the summer of 2021. The show was under production when COVID-19 happened. However, then on March 16, 2020, the production for the series was paused. However, now, the production for Season 5 has resumed with all the safety measures. The good news is that some episodes of the show were already filmed before the pandemic paused the show. Actor Shawn Hatosy who plays the character of Pope, had updated his fans that he had wrapped shooting back in December 2020.
Animal Kingdom Season 5: What Will Happen Next?
The show’s website reveals that Animal Kingdom Season 5 will be split between the past and the present of the whole Cody family. The present will see the family struggling as they try to recover from the death of Smurf. The website reveals that Pope, Craig, J, and Deran are all dealing with the fallout from the events around Smurf’s death. On the other hand, family members are out for revenge.
In the fourth season, Smurf was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She had planned an elaborate heist that would have given her a chance on dying on her own terms and most possibly take Pope along with her. Rather than letting that happen, her own grandson Finn shot her. In the past, viewers will get to see young Smurf as she raises twins Pope and Julia while she also leads the charge on the dangerous jobs with her old and new friends.
The Promo Is Out!
The latest promo for Animal Kingdom Season 5 is out, and it looks like the whole upcoming fifth season will hype up the relationship between all the Cody boys. The question is, will their relationship be dysfunctional as ever? It sure will be really interesting and exciting to see the show moving forward without Smurf. It looks like at.
First, all the boys will share responsibilities and might not cause a lot of problems. Then we also know that not all of them can be leaders. While J seems to be the most capable, he does lack empathy, and that could eventually lead them to trouble. For what we know for sure is that nothing will be the same forever. Viewers can imagine that some bonds will indeed fracture over the upcoming season. That will lead to a number of very surprising developments.
