The infamous Cody crime family is back for a third season, after last season’s shocking cliffhanger in which Baz (Scott Speedman) was shot while on his way to Mexico after framing Smurf (Ellen Barkin) for murder. Season Three of Animal Kingdom opens with Smurf in jail and her grandson, J (Finn Cole) in charge of the family business. Although the Cody men find themselves increasingly divided as they fight for both control and their independence, they have to come together when outside threats emerge.
