RT receives 26 nominations in the 2022 Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) Film and Drama Awards

RT is delighted to receive a tremendous 26 nominations for Kin, Hidden Assets and Smother in the 2022 Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) Film and Drama Awards.

Kin received 13 nominations, Hidden Assets gained 7 and Smother received 6 in total. The three hit Irish drama series aired on RT One last year and are available on RT Player.

RT 's support of Irish talent and creatives has seen over 40 hours of brand new Irish drama broadcast on RT last year alone. Our dedication to drama ensures the creative industry is championed, while also providing quality Irish drama for local audiences and on the international stage.

David Crean, Acting Head of Drama for RT said: Congratulations to Peter McKenna, Morna Regan and Kate O Riordan for creating such compelling dramas for RT One on Sunday nights. And congratulations also to the producers, directors, actors and crews who made these dramas under very difficult circumstances. KIN, Smother and Hidden Assets are loved by Irish and international audiences, and the number of nominations is a testament to the energy and passion that goes into making them happen.

Dermot Horan, Director of Acquisitions & Co-Productions for RT said: To receive 26 nominations in the IFTA drama categories is an amazing achievement for everyone involved in Kin, Hidden Assets and Smother. These RT commissioned dramas have really hit home with Irish audiences, have been sold all around the world and demonstrates RT 's commitment to high end drama, using Irish writing, directing and acting talent

Peter McKenna creator of Kin and Hidden Assets said I'm obviously delighted by the number of nominations Kin and Hidden Assets have received from IFTA. Television can be a tough business with lots of rejection and disappointment along the way, so it's really gratifying to see so many talented Irish people on both these shows being recognised for the amazing work they have done, in front of and behind the camera.

Rebecca O' Flanagan, Smother producer said : We're so thrilled for Smother to be again recognised in the IFTA nominations especially as we begin shooting season 3. They are a tribute to the talent, commitment and dedication of the Smother family, both in front of and behind the camera.

The annual awards ceremony recognises the best of Irish screen talent and production across feature film, TV drama, feature documentary, live action short and animation.
