TNT released a new trailer for Animal Kingdom Season 4 to give awaiting fans some updates about the series. In case the viewers still have no idea who is in charge of the Cody crime family, Janine "Smurf" Cody (Ellen Barkin) reminds everyone that she is the boss.
"I'm the boss... you stick with me," Smurf told J (Finn Cole) in the new Animal Kingdom Season 4 trailer. "Keep me in the loop."
Deran (Jake Weary) and his brothers are also seen trying to rob a bank while wearing Charlie Chaplin masks that eventually leads to a police chase in Animal Kingdom Season 4 trailer. Later, Smurf is yelling "blow them up" as one of her boys fights inside the mixed martial arts ring.
According to TV Line, Pope (Shawn Hatosy) may be the one who is trying his luck to fight in Animal Kingdom Season 4 after the trailer revealed his face covered with scars and bruises. "Are you out of control, baby?" Smurf asked her eldest son.
Meanwhile, fans will once again see Emily Deschanel back on the small screen after the end of Bones. The 42-year-old star joins Animal Kingdom Season 4 as Angela, the former best friend of Julia, Pope's deceased twin sister.
TV Guide reported Angela is a recovering addict who recently gets released from prison. She will try her best to be a part of the Cody family in Animal Kingdom Season 4. But, it seems like Smurf doesn't trust her.
Angela has a "scrappy" and "manipulative" attitude in Animal Kingdom Season 4. She will also use her friendship with Julia an advantage to seduce Pope, while J continuously hates her.
Emily Deschanel's addition in Animal Kingdom Season 4 comes after Baz (Scott Speedman) died in the first episode of the previous season. As the Codys are all fighting for power, will she manage to join them and be on par with the family?
Animal Kingdom Season 4's cast already gathered on the set to start the show's production, per Hidden Remote. The show has kept its usual filming schedule, which starts in January and will continue for the next five or six months. The series is expected to be out during summertime on TNT.
Ellen Barkin, Finn Cole, Jake Weary, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, (Craig), Molly Gordon (Nicky), and Caroline Guerra (Lucy) will all return to Animal Kingdom Season 4. Eliza Clark will be writing the show's first episode and directed by John Wells, while David Rodriguez will direct the second episode and written by Daniele Nathanson.
