The hit RTÉ crime drama Kin has been confirmed for a second season which will go into production this summer. The first season of the gripping gangland show, featuring an all-star cast including Aidan Gillan, Clare Dunne, Ciáran Hinds and Charlie Cox, concluded its eight-episode run in November last year and proved a huge draw for audiences. RTÉ has now announced that series two, which will air on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, has been picked up by American cable channel AMC+ for another season. Viewers and critics alike were impressed by the first series of the atmospheric, understated drama which followed the lives of the Kinsellas, a small but tight-knit crime family embroiled in a war against a powerful drug kingpin (Hinds). The drama will continue with the Kinsellas as the top dogs in Dublin, but their dramatic actions at the end of season one have created as many problems as it solved. The family have incurred the wrath of an even more dangerous enemy. And where once there was the unbreakable bonds of blood and family, now there is only suspicion, distrust and resentment... Dermot Horan Director of Acquisitions & Co-Productions for RTÉ said: "As the home of quality Irish drama, RTÉ is delighted to deliver another series of Kin to Irish audiences. "The first series was enjoyed in huge numbers across RTÉ on both television and RTÉ Player, as well as in North America and Scandinavia. "We've worked with our international partners to make sure we could answer the call of Irish audiences to deliver another series and to ensure that Irish talent and quality Irish drama is showcased on the world stage." Series one had a consolidated average of over 621,000 viewers on RTÉ One and to date 2.7 million streams on RTÉ Player, making Kin the most successful drama in Ireland last year. Kin is produced by BRON Studios and Headline Pictures, in association with RTÉ. AMC+ has acquired the rights to the drama for North America, Australia, New Zealand, Iberia, Latin America and the UK.

Bhuaigh an dráma, a craoladh ar RTÉ anuraidh, an duais don tsraith drámaíochta is fearr, an script is fearr (Peter McKenna), agus sna ceithre phríomhghradam aisteoireachta agus tacaíochta (Clare Dunne, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Ciarán Hinds, agus Sam Keeley) Bhuail sraith a haon le lucht féachana agus criticeoirí araon, agus bhí meán comhdhlúite de níos mó ná 621,000 duine ag lucht féachana ar RTÉ One agus go dtí seo bhí 2.7 milliún sruth ar RTÉ Player, rud a fhágann gurb é Kin an dráma is rathúla in Éirinn anuraidh. Gach seachtain chuaigh an lucht féachana i ngleic le teaghlach Kinsella a réiteach. Is é BRON Studios agus Headline Pictures, i gcomhar le RTÉ, a léirigh Kin. Fógraíodh le déanaí go rachadh sraith a dó de Kin i dtáirgeadh an samhradh seo. Dúirt Jim Jennings, Stiúrthóir Ábhair RTÉ: ‘Comhghairdeas mór leis na léiritheoirí, stiúrthóirí, aisteoirí agus criúnna a chruthaigh agus a mhúnlaigh Kin i ndráma fíor-láidir agus a bhuail an lucht féachana mór do RTÉ. Is léiriú é an líon mór dámhachtainí a bhuaigh Kin ar thallann agus ar phaisean na foirne suntasaí seo agus tá lúcháir orainn go bhfuair siad an t-aitheantas seo ón tionscal.’ Ba bhliain an-láidir í anuraidh do dhrámaí rté a d’fhás sa bhaile. In éineacht le Kin, Hidden Assets agus Smother, an dá amas lucht féachana freisin, do dhámhachtainí IFTA freisin. Aithníonn an searmanas bronnta bliantúil an chuid is fearr de thallann agus léiriú scáileáin na hÉireann ar fud na príomhscannáin, na drámaíochta teilifíse, na gné-chláir faisnéise, an ghnímh bheo gearr agus na beochana. Mar gheall ar an tacaíocht a thug RTÉ do dhaoine cumasacha agus do dhaoine cruthaitheacha na hÉireann, craoladh breis agus 40 uair an chloig de dhrámaíocht na hÉireann ar RTÉ anuraidh amháin. Cinntíonn ár dtiomantas don drámaíocht go bhfuil an tionscal cruthaitheach á chur chun cinn, agus ag an am céanna cuirtear drámaíocht Ardchaighdeáin Éireannach ar fáil do lucht féachana áitiúil agus domhanda.
