The Irish crime drama 'Kin' has been officially confirmed for a third series. The show, which depicts a fictional Dublin family embroiled in a gangland conflict, has garnered a significant following. Both the first and second seasons are accessible for viewers on BBC iPlayer.
Show's Popularity and Future Prospects
Following its initial broadcast in 2021, 'Kin' rapidly became one of Ireland's most-watched programmes. The series was subsequently acquired by the BBC in 2023. Despite the co-producers, Bron Studios, ceasing operations, the drama's return has been secured. Actor Emmett J. Scanlan, who portrays Jimmy Kinsella, previously indicated strong interest from various parties for the show's future, stating there was a 'bidding war' for its rights. He expressed his eagerness to participate in a third season, noting the 'insane' viewing figures on BBC iPlayer.

Council attributes initial high figures to low testing volumes, not a borough-wide surge.
“If indeed we come back for a season three – and I know the numbers on BBC iPlayer were insane – I'll be there in a heartbeat.”
