Re: Kingdom (Directv) - MMA drama S: Frank Grillo - Series Thread - Starts 10/8/14

KINGDOM is a story about family, loyalty, ambition, glory, lust, betrayal and the rawnerve needs and desires that inspire people to greatness or drive them to unthinkable treachery. The series takes place in Venice, California and is set against the gritty backdrop of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in Venice, California.

The KINGDOM cast is led by Frank Grillo as Alvey "King" Kulina, an MMA pioneer and owner of Navy St. MMA. Kiele Sanchez plays Lisa Prince, Alvey's former live-in girlfriend who manages the gym and their stable of fighters. Matt Lauria plays Ryan Wheeler, a champion with a volatile history. Jonathan Tucker plays Jay, Alvey's eldest son, whose talents in the cage are only matched by his mouth outside. Nick Jonas plays Nate, Alvey's youngest son, a once promising fighter determined to work his way back to the top of the sport. Joanna Going plays Christina, Alvey's ex-wife and mother to Jay and Nate.
The final ten episodes of Season Two will center on Jay's pursuit of Ryan's lightweight title belt, a fight that will test Alvey's loyalties and divide all of Navy St.
Second half of season 2 starts 6/1/16 - 10 episodes.

This is also available for people who subscribe to U-Verse now (for obvious reasons).

Renewed for a 3rd season

There are 4 episodes left in the current 20 episode 2nd season.

I only watched the first few episodes of the 1st season. I liked what I saw, but simply couldn't continue due to lack of time and too much on. I want to get back into this at some point, but not sure when.

That was a pretty strong way to go out on the second season. Really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next season whenever that happens.

Season 3 of the critically-acclaimed drama "KINGDOM" from AT&T* AUDIENCE Network will premiere Wednesday, May 31, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The show comes from creator, writer and executive producer Byron Balasco and is produced by Endemol Shine Studios. The new season will air exclusively on AUDIENCE Network. Viewers can watch on DIRECTV, AT&T U-verse and the new streaming service DIRECTV NOW. Frank Grillo, Kiele Sanchez, Matt Lauria, Jonathan Tucker, Nick Jonas and Joanna Going reprise their roles for season 3. Kirk Acevedo joins the cast in a recurring role as a former fighter and new coach at Navy St. MMA gym. Frank Grillo ("Captain America," "The Purge") stars as Alvey Kulina, a Mixed Martial Arts legend and owner of Venice, CA-based Navy St. MMA gym. Kiele Sanchez ("The Purge," "Lost") stars as Lisa Prince, who returns to the gym after she and Alvey suffer the loss of their son. Matt Lauria ("Friday Night Lights") returns as Ryan "The Destroyer" Wheeler, the world-class athlete who redeemed himself in the cage to defended his title in a bittersweet victory against his best friend. Jonathan Tucker ("Justified, "Parenthood") returns as Jay Kulina, Alvey's eldest son who lost the belt to Ryan and is less concerned with that than he is with feeling the tragic loss of his girlfriend. Nick Jonas returns as Nate Kulina, Alvey's youngest son, who has confided in his older brother and confirmed that he is gay. Joanna Going ("House of Cards," "Mad Men") returns as Christina Kulina, Alvey's estranged wife and mother to Jay and Nate.
Season 3 will be the final season.

Mentioned how I was missing Animal Kingdom and someone recommend I give this a watch as they are similar. Very good show, currently in the middle of season 2. As good as it is, only 3 seasons?
