The eight-part Irish crime drama Kin<\/em>, produced by BRON Studios (Joker<\/em>) and Headline Pictures (The Man in the High Castle<\/em>), has been acquired for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n The series follows as the Kinsellas, a local crime family, embark on a gangland war with a powerful international cartel. Though they are outnumbered, outfinanced and outgunned, they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bond of blood.<\/p>\n The cast features Clare Dunne (Herself<\/em>), Charlie Cox (Daredevil<\/em>), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones<\/em>), Ciar\u00e1n Hinds (Game of Thrones<\/em>), Sam Keeley (The Cured<\/em>), Emmett J. Scanlan (Peaky Blinders<\/em>), Maria Doyle Kennedy (Outlander<\/em>) and newcomer Yasmin Seky.<\/p>\n Kin<\/em> was acquired by the BBC from FIFTH SEASON (Killing Eve<\/em>, Severance<\/em>, Tokyo Vice<\/em>). It is written and created by Peter McKenna (The Last Kingdom<\/em>, Red Rock<\/em>), who also serves as showrunner and executive producer.

The series has clocked up more than 4 million lifetime streams in Ireland, with the second season averaging a 40 percent audience share in its Sunday night slot and its finale becoming the most-viewed program of the year outside of sport. We\u2019re thrilled that Kin has found its U.K. home with the BBC.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The eight-part Irish crime drama Kin, produced by BRON Studios (Joker) and Headline Pictures (The Man in the High Castle), has been acquired for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":19522,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[7933,769,201,2665,7934,7935,7936,7263,5190,7937,7938,3789,5067,7939,5856],"class_list":["post-19521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-aidan-gillen","tag-bbc-iplayer","tag-bbc-one","tag-bron-studios","tag-charlie-cox","tag-ciaran-hinds","tag-clare-dunne","tag-emmett-j-scanlan","tag-fifth-season","tag-headline-pictures","tag-jennifer-ebell","tag-kin","tag-maria-doyle-kennedy","tag-sam-keeley","tag-sue-deeks","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
