*WARNING \u2013 CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR KIN SEASON 2*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Season 2 of Irish crime drama Kin<\/a> is now available to stream in full on BBC iPlayer, having originally debuted in Ireland on RT\u00c9 last year.<\/p>\n

The new season sees the Kinsellas at the top of the crime game in Dublin, but facing a fresh enemy even more deadly than their last adversary.<\/p>\n

However, now that fans in Britain have had a chance to watch the season, is the show set to return for another outing, or is this the last time we\u2019ll see the Kinsellas?<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about Kin<\/a> season 3.<\/p>\n

Will there be a Kin season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t yet know for certain whether there will be a Kin season 3<\/strong>, and there have been contradictory reports ever since the second season released in Ireland.<\/p>\n

In May 2023, it was reported<\/a> that a third season had already been filmed in summer 2022, and that it would therefore be released in 2024, with a fourth season also on the cards.<\/p>\n

However, in November 2023 it was reported that this wasn\u2019t the case<\/a>, and instead the earliest a third season could be released in 2025, given Charlie Cox\u2019s filming schedule on Daredevil: Born Again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in August 2023, ahead of this report, the show\u2019s Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9 said in a statement<\/a>: \u201cRT\u00c9 would very much like Kin to return and continues to work with our international partners to make it happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to have a further update in relation to season 3 in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n

This statement was offered because the show\u2019s future was thrown into doubt, as production company Bron Studios filed for bankruptcy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In January 2024, star Emmett J Scanlan offered this update<\/a>: \u201cI hope there will be a season 3, I really do. That\u2019s kind of the energy I like to marinate in anyway. I\u2019m not a negative person.<\/p>\n

\u201cI genuinely have no answer whether it\u2019s gonna happen or not, but there are rumblings around the place, positive rumblings, where it might find a new home, it might find a backer and it might go into a season 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt certainly has the potential of going to season 3 and maybe 4, who knows what will happen? When the credits rolled [at the end of the second season] I thought, \u2018It can\u2019t end like that.\u2019 So fingers crossed.\u201d<\/p>\n

When would Kin season 3 be released?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s hard to say exactly when Kin season 3 would be released, given that it hasn\u2019t been confirmed yet.<\/p>\n

However, given Charlie Cox\u2019s filming schedule on Daredevil: Born Again, and the apparent need to secure new funding after production company Bron Studios went bankrupt, it seems the absolute earliest that we could see Kin season 3 would be 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We will keep this page updated as and when any further information is made available regarding the release of Kin season 3.<\/p>\n

Kin cast \u2013 Who would be back for season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If Kin were to return for season 3, then we\u2019d imagine that the majority of the central cast<\/a> would be back, including Charlie Cox, Clare Dunne and Emmett J Scanlan.<\/p>\n

However, two major figures who we wouldn\u2019t expect to see back are Aidan Gillen\u2019s Frank Kinsella and Francis Magee\u2019s Brendan Kinsella, after they met their ends in the season 2 finale.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a full list of the cast we would expect to see back for Kin season 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n
