Yes, there are actually 8 kingdoms of life! A kingdom is the highest category of taxa, so if species are in separate kingdoms they are very, very distantly related.
In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, you've probably also heard of bacteria and viruses. The other three kingdoms are Archaea, Chromista, and Protozoa.
