FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TNT's #1 New Series ANIMAL KINGDOM: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON Bring The Powerful Drama Home On Blu-ray and DVD On April 25, 2017 BURBANK, CA (January 26, 2016) - Just in time for the second season on TNT, viewers can indulge in the network's #1 new series as Warner Bros. Home Entertainment releases Animal Kingdom: The Complete First Season on Blu-ray including Digital HD, and DVD, on April 25, 2017. Averaging 2.4 million viewers for each original episode, Animal Kingdom is one of the top 3 original series on TNT with Adults 18-34 and key male demos (18-34, 18-49, 25-54) season to-date. The release contains all 10 intense episodes from the first season, plus extra content, including behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes and more. Animal Kingdom: The Complete First Season is priced to own at $29.98 SRP for the DVD and $39.99 SRP for the Blu-ray including Digital HD. Executive produced by Emmy winner John Wells (Shameless, ER, The West Wing) and developed by Jonathan Lisco (Southland), this series - inspired by the critically acclaimed 2010 Australian movie by the same name - centers on 17-year-old "J" Cody, who moves in with his freewheeling relatives in their Southern California beach town after his mother dies of an overdose. Headed by boot-tough matriarch "Smurf" Cody and her right-hand Baz, who runs the business and calls the shots, the clan also consists of Pope, the oldest and most dangerous of the Cody boys; Craig, the tough and fearless middle son; and Deran, the troubled, suspicious "baby" of the family. It isn't long before J is pulled into the family's life of indulgence and excess, but he soon discovers that it's all being funded by criminal activities. Joining the family comes with more danger and excitement than he might be ready to handle. "When you take three generations of criminals and put them under one roof, you are bound to have a gripping drama with secrets, lies and family power struggles, and it's no wonder that millions of loyal fans tuned in to each episode to see what was in store for the Cody clan," said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, TV Marketing.
