TNT Renews Animal Kingdom and Claws

Good news for fans of TNT's menagerie of crime shows: the network has renewed its summer dramas Animal Kingdom and Claws, TV Guide has learned.

The drama series -- which are in their third and second seasons, respectively -- are performing very well, with both shows bucking industry trends by increasing total viewers from last year, according to TNT. Claws even has the largest year-over-year growth of any returning cable drama in 2018 so far.

Animal Kingdom tells the story of the Cody family, a clan of killers and crooks led by matriarch Smurf (Ellen Barkin). They can't trust anyone, especially not each other. Denis Leary joined the cast in Season 3.

Claws follows manicurists at a South Florida nail salon as they find their places within the local organized crime community after they start laundering money for drug dealers. It stars Niecy Nash, Carrie Preston, Judy Reyes and Dean Norris.

Animal Kingdom airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on TNT.

Claws airs Sundays at 9/8c on TNT.
