What to expect from Animal Control season 3 episode 1?
The previous season, which concluded on May 8, 2024, ended on a happy note. Victoria passed her citizenship test, and Frank, another crucial character in the story, finally found peace with his job of taking care of animals, letting go of his desire to return to his previous job of being a cop.
The IMDb synopsis of the first episode of Animal Control season 3 reads:
“After Animal Control must contain a freak zoo break, Frank realizes that he needs to break up with Yasmin 'the right way'; Patel's gorilla rescue goes viral; Emily finds an unexpected benefactor in a celebrity businesswoman.”
Fans can expect an explosive season premiere as Frank comes to the conclusion that he needs to part ways with Yasmin and must break this news properly. The characters’ chemistry with animals has been a large part of the story and is expected to continue in the new season as well.
Further, Animal Control season 3 episode 1 will feature the adventures of Emily, the director at the A.C. Northwest precinct, as she bumps into a crucial character. Fans will have to wait till the episode drops to know exactly who this character is.
