RTÉ’s new crime drama Kin is yet to be commissioned for a second season.
The season one finale was watched by an average of 502,000 people on Sunday night, which saw the shocking demise of the “kingpin of the Dublin drug scene” Eamon Cunningham.
While the Irish gangland drama proved to be a hit with viewers, its unknown if Kin will return for a second series.
After the finale aired on Sunday night, an RTE spokeswoman told the Irish Sun: “Series one of Kin has come to a thrilling conclusion and it’s too early to say if another series will be commissioned.”
The gripping new drama – starring Aidan Gillen, Charlie Cox, Clare Dunne, Emmett J Scanlan, Ciaran Hinds and Sam Keeley – followed the lives of a fictional Dublin family embroiled in a gangland war.
While fans are already calling for a second season of Kin, the show’s co-creator Peter McKenna has admitted it will only be recommissioned if the series does well on AMC in the US.
During a previous interview, the IFTA award-winning writer said: “Success in Ireland won’t deliver enough money to keep it going.”
