SERIES 2 OF KIN GENERATES OVER 1 MILLION STREAMS ON RT PLAYER

Series 2 of the Peter McKenna-penned crime drama KIN has already garnered over 1,100,000 total streams on RT Player ahead of the airing of Episode 7 this Sunday on RT One and RT Player. This number brings the series total to over 4 million since the Kinsella Family crashed onto Irish screens in September 2021 with series 1.

The cast of the Dublin-based series includes Claire Dunne (Amanda Kinsella), Charlie Cox (Michael), Aidan Gillen (Frank), Maria Doyle-Kennedy (Birdy), Emmett J Scanlan (Jimmy), Francis Magee (Bren), Yasmin Seky (Nikita), and Sam Keeley (Viking).

In episode 6 which aired last Sunday, tunned viewers saw tyrant Bren seek out granddaughter Anna openly against her father Michael's wishes. Current family matriarch Amanda looked for global business opportunities, and Birdy's past and present trauma began to collide.

This weekend on KIN, Bren's chaos reaches an apex, and the family is driven to mayhem. Michael and Viking both suffer heartbreak, while uncle Frank seeks a change. The Batuk's sew their own discord, and Amanda and Jimmy's son Anthony does the unthinkable

The series finale airs on May 7th.

Dermot Horan, Director of Acquisitions and Co-Productions RT said: From all the research we have done we know that our viewers want the choice of when to watch their dramas. KIN proves this point, with phenomenal figures on RT Player
