Kin Series 3 Confirmed: RTE, BBC & Brian Cox Join Hit Crime Drama

The Irish crime drama Kin has been renewed for a third series, with a significant co-production agreement between RTÉ and the BBC, according to reports from The Irish Sun. Filming is slated to commence this summer, and plans are already underway for both fourth and fifth series of the show.

Adding to the anticipation, actor Charlie Cox, known for his roles in Daredevil and House of Cards, will join the cast for the third series. Details regarding his character remain undisclosed.

The renewal signifies a strengthened partnership between the Irish and British broadcasters. BBC’s acquisition of the series, as reported by Deadline, highlights the growing international appeal of Irish drama. Kin initially premiered on RTÉ One and was subsequently made available on the BBC iPlayer.

The series follows the Kinsellas, a Dublin family embroiled in organized crime. The second series concluded recently, leaving audiences eager for the next installment. Radio Times reported on growing interest in the show following the conclusion of the second series.

The BBC’s investment in Kin comes as the broadcaster continues to bolster its drama offerings, with other recent successes including the crime drama Mobland, which currently holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, according to HELLO! Magazine.
