Renewed Or Cancelled?
Kin is a great crime drama, one that feels like a throwback to those early seasons of Peaky Blinders. Intense, hard-hitting and with some great character development, Kin is certainly not to be missed!
So, after watching the first two seasons in their entirety, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Kin about?
Kin centers around a fictional Dublin family who are embroiled in a gangland war. With Charlie Cox fronting the cast, the Kinsellas are a small but tight-knit family who become increasingly at odds with a powerful drug cartel.
Season 2 in particular really ramped up the intensity and stakes, deciding to throw in the Turkish cartel as they try to get back a sizable debt from Eamon, who is vert much stuck in the thick of it.
Has Kin been renewed for season 3?
UPDATE: Filming for Season 3 will begin in 2025.
At the time of writing, Kin has been renewed for season 3. There are contradictory reports across the net around this, specifically from the Irish Mirror reporting in May that Kin would definitely be returning.
However, this directly contradicts Irish broadcaster RTÉ’s recent statement, which reads “RTÉ would very much like Kin to return and continues to work with our international partners to make it happen.”.
Given Charlie Cox is the lead actor of the show, and he currently has obligations with Marvel for Daredevil: Born Again, it seems unlikely that Kin will be back anytime before 2025.
Not only that but generally streamers and networks would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made. Kin has had a really positive reaction from critics and audiences alike, with many enjoying the story and the drama so it’s not outside the realm of possibility to see this one return.
We’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!
What we know about season 3 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 3 at this point except that the official word is that this one has not been renewed. We’d predict that this one will be returning but it’ll be a while before it hits our screens. Not only that, but the show also needs to address that big cliffhanger as well!
We’ll be sure to update this page if there are any changes on this front.
UPDATE: Filming for Season 3 will begin in 2025.
Do you want to see Kin return for a third season? What did you think of the show? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
Dam good show, I think it’s illegal to end series 2 like that!!… leaving us all wanting more, loads of plots twists and drama to be shown, you would be foolish not to commission series 3.
Great show. As good as these type of shows get
Most definitely would love to see Kin 3 return.
I started to watch it on rte when it first aired on 9th September 2021 have been waiting patiently for season 3. Please make it happen 🤞
