Tin Star Renewed Ahead of Season One Debut

The Sky original Tin Star, which launches this Thursday on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV, has already been renewed for a second season.

Starring Tim Roth, the first season of Tin Star explores just how far someone will go to protect the ones they love. Season two will continue the story of a man split in two by his past and present. The series is produced by Kudos (Broadchurch, Humans, The Tunnel: Sabotage) and was created by Rowan Joffe (28 Weeks Later, The American).

Anne Mensah, the head of drama at Sky, said: “When Tin Star launches this week, Sky Atlantic viewers will not only experience a hugely powerful tale of revenge with captivating, uncompromising characters, but will be left in no doubt as to why a second series was an absolute must. Our huge thanks to Rowan, Tim, Alison, Diederick and the whole cast and crew for this outstanding series. We can’t wait to make series two!”

Kudos CEO and executive producer Diederick Santer said: “Tin Star features world class acting and production talent working at the top of their game and to be re-commissioned by Sky Atlantic before season 1 has even aired is such a wonderful vote of confidence in the team.”

Joffe and executive producer Alison Jackson said: “Rowan and I are thrilled to have another opportunity to delve deeper into the world we have all started to create—there is so much more to reveal about our fantastically complex array of characters.”
