Although she's an excellent student, she's also the type of chick who sells tabs of LSD because she thinks it's cool. Now here's a look at 'who's who' during the show's final run, beginning with Polish's Julia- a beautiful, intelligent, and edgy. Jasper Polish ( Force of Nature), Darren Mann ( Fortunate Son), Kevin Csolak ( Boardwalk Empire), and Stevie Lynn Jones ( Nancy Drew) are set to join the cast in recurring roles during what's expected to be a 2022 debut for the sixth and final season. So with all of that in play and ready to explode, viewers were teased that there would be a 'big announcement' coming on Tuesday- and it did, with news that the fifth season will hit TNT screens on July 11 at 9 pm ET/8 pm CT. Meanwhile back in 1984, an increasingly volatile 29-year-old Smurf begins forging her own path- raising Pope and Julia while also leading the charge on dangerous jobs with new and old friends. And let's not forget that the Codys are still digging for intel on Pamela Johnson- the beneficiary of Smurf's estate.

With their kingdom without a leader, the Codys struggle to maintain their fragile alliance as each of them looks to come out on top.

The fifth season of TNT's Animal Kingdom finds Deran ( Jake Weary), Pope ( Shawn Hatosy), Craig ( Ben Robson), and Joshua 'J' Cody's ( Finn Cole) facing an uncertain future while still dealing with the fallout from the events surrounding Smurf's ( Ellen Barkin) death- and that includes family out for revenge.
