Animal Control season 5 puts Frank Shaw’s precinct in Roman Park’s sights: he has a city contract and has already shut one precinct. Showrunner Tad Quill says Frank and rival Templeton will unite against Roman; the city council will decide whether to keep the precinct open.
Quill says the conflict continues beyond the premiere, with a major staff poaching halfway through the season. Roman’s operation uses drones and self-driving trucks, while Frank’s team emphasizes a human touch. Season 5 premieres on Fox Sunday, September 27, at 8:30/7:30c.
Emily remains suspended for dating subordinate Shred; they also face a new living situation, and Shred battles a crow. Victoria becomes attached to a six-pound pig, while Patel’s family travels to India for an extended stay because his mother-in-law is sick. Quill says another storyline is inspired by a real-life case of coyotes living in an abandoned West Hollywood residential building.
