The BBC has acquired the thrilling Irish crime drama KIN, an eight-part series produced by BRON Studios (Joker) and Headline Pictures (The Man in the High Castle), from FIFTH SEASON for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

The drama's cast is led by Clare Dunne (Herself), Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones), Ciarán Hinds (Game of Thrones), Sam Keeley (The Cured), Emmett J. Scanlan (Peaky Blinders), Maria Doyle Kennedy (Outlander) and newcomer Yasmin Seky.

A boy is killed and his family embarks on a gangland war with an international cartel: a war that is impossible to win.

The Kinsellas are a local crime family, while the Cunningham cartel is a vast global organisation. It is David and Goliath.

Out-numbered, out-financed and out-gunned, the Kinsellas find themselves holed up in their Dublin stronghold while their businesses fail, and family members and associates are picked off.

But they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bonds of blood and family. They are kin.

Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, says: “Anchored by a tremendous cast, Kin is a powerful and intense story of love, grief, family and crime, and its devastating ramifications.”

For those wondering, S2 is free on the RTE player. You can access it if you have a VPN device 😉

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/12/2023 03:42

I thought I had replied on this after seeing 8 but seems not

So Amanda is now going to be head mafia of the kinsellas ?

Did birdy really not expect Eric to be chosen

I know all 3 were her nephews /brother but Eric started it so right he should pay /dies

Tho as jimmy killed con and Micheal Eamen do they not think it will be obvious to the police it was them as they weren't at their son/nephew monthly mass

So Amanda now had 50 million in drugs

I assume she will sell them and be head

Frank is dead - or assume he is

Micheal is dying

Which only leaves jimmy and Amanda

RTE and BBC should do a reciprocal arrangement so we could have access to each other's players.
As good neighbours like.

Netaporter · 13/12/2023 09:42

@LadyEloise1 totally agree. Is RTE subject to a licence fee? Seems crazy that we pay for something here in the UK that you can access from anywhere in the work for free using a VPN, the cost of which does not go back into the BBC coffers… either a system is locked down like Netflix or it is not.

Started series 2. It's amazing. A lot more family secrets coming!

WelshFionaThePlasticSurgeryGorgon · 19/12/2023 23:38

Which channel are you watching it on @Grapefruitstars ?

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/12/2023 03:29

Hopefully bbc1 will show kin s2 in 2024

I still dont understand the top gangster getting off his face at the retreat?

newnamethanks · 20/12/2023 16:07

Me neither. What was the point of that?

WelshFionaThePlasticSurgeryGorgon · 20/12/2023 21:01

It was with his wife and it was some kind of shaman healing type experience to help her with her breast cancer. He did it as a support to her. It also fed us some of his background re his mother if I remember correctly.

newnamethanks · 20/12/2023 22:17

Thank you. All of that had passed me by and has niggled me for weeks.

ihatethecold · 23/12/2023 19:38

It just seemed so random

Grapefruitstars · 23/12/2023 21:07

Anthony doesn't seem that bothered about his brother does he ? It's odd

Lovewine1975 · 25/01/2024 19:21

I've just seen that Season 2 will be airing in May this year on BBC, great news only a few months to wait Smile
