Season 2 of Irish crime drama Kin<\/a> recently landed on BBC iPlayer after its debut on RT\u00c9 last year.<\/p>\n

The Dublin-set series features a stellar cast<\/a> that includes Daredevil\u2019s Charlie Cox, Belfast\u2019s Ciar\u00e1n Hinds and The Last Duel\u2019s Clare Dunne, and has been a hit with viewers both in Ireland and the UK.<\/p>\n

Despite season 2\u2019s shocking ending<\/a> hinting at a future for the Kinsella crime family, there have been conflicting reports on the matter.<\/p>\n

Recently, Kin actor Sinan Sicimo\u011flu told the Irish Sun<\/a> that the cast\u2019s contracts hadn\u2019t been renewed, and that it would be \u201cimpossible\u201d to get some of the actors \u201cback on the same set\u201d.<\/p>\n

It appears this isn\u2019t necessarily the case, however, as an RT\u00c9 spokesperson told RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cAll the partners are in discussions about a third series, but there is nothing to announce at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, although some of the cast\u2019s schedules may be tied up for the foreseeable future \u2013 Cox will be back in the MCU with Daredevil: Born Again<\/a> on Disney Plus<\/a>, Dunne appears alongside Cillian Murphy in Small Things Like These<\/a>, while Emmett J Scanlan, who plays her on-screen husband, was recently in Netflix hit Fool Me Once<\/a> \u2013 they could still be back to play the notorious crime family.<\/p>\n

Scanlan himself hinted as much during a recent chat with RadioTimes.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure we\u2019re all hopeful that we get to continue the story or maybe even finish the story. It\u2019s been an extraordinary ride,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe became very close shooting it. And I said I\u2019d love to go back and do it, to be able to get on set and to tell stories, really, really well thought-out, visceral, layered stories like that, to be able to bring those characters to life, is only made possible through the team that\u2019s around you.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAnd, of course, our writer, Peter McKenna, who\u2019s so, so good at doing that. And I hope we get to continue, but I don\u2019t know if and where we will, but please God we find out soon one way or the other.\u201d<\/p>\n
