Rookie series “Wrecked” stars Jessica Lowe, Ginger Gonzaga and Ally Maki and revolves around a diverse group of plane crasher survivors. The first season made its debut last month and has reached a multiplatform audience of 5.2 million viewers.
“A year ago we began reinventing TBS, and thanks to the incredible talent behind these shows, we’ve come a long way in a very short amount of time,” said Brett Weitz, EVP original programming for TBS. “Pulling the trigger on renewals early allows us to build on our success by giving fans new seasons more quickly.”
“Animal Kingdom,” inspired by the 2010 film written and directed by David Michôd, stars Ellen Barkin, Scott Speedman and Shawn Hatosy, among others. According to TNT and Nielsen, the drama is reaching 6.7 million viewers across all TNT platforms.
“’Animal Kingdom’ has signaled the new tone for TNT dramas and is moving the network in the direction we hoped it would,” said Sarah Aubrey, executive vice president of original programming for TNT. “I’m confident that our strategy of working with high-caliber talent and then getting out of their way will continue to pay off.”
