Viewers will be delighted to learn that the second series of a fan-favourite crime drama - with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score - is coming to the BBC.

While people are on the look out for a TV show to help with the January blues, this could be one-to-watch.

Game of Thrones' Aidan Gillen and Ciarán Hinds star as rival gang members in the Irish crime series, co-created by Peter McKenna and Ciaran Donnelly.

The show follows the fictional Kinsellas crime family in Dublin, Ireland, who are increasingly at odds with a powerful drug cartel.

All hell breaks loose when the hotheaded son of Frank Kinsella (Gillen) gets into a violent confrontation with one of Eamon's (Hinds) men, as the Cunninghams retaliate.

The impressive cast also includes Clare Dunne, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Emmett J. Scanlan (Fool Me Once), and Sam Keeley.

Titled Kin, the series - which first broadcast on AMC in 2021 - has been available on BBC iPlayer and Brits have been enjoying the full eight episodes of season one, which has a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.

Taking to X (Twitter), viewers have been urging others to give it a try.

"If you’ve not watched #Kin on BBC iplayer watch it. It’s brilliant," one person wrote.

"Kin on BBC iPlayer, what a show, unbelievable," added a second.

"Anyone stuck for something to watch, try Kin on BBC iPlayer unreal telly," a third agreed.

However, a common complaint is that season two of the show - which aired on RTÉ in 2023 - isn't available in the UK.

But viewers will be buzzing with the BBC's recent confirmation that the second series of Kin will in fact launch soon on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

"The Kinsellas are back and the stakes are higher than ever," said Jennifer Ebell, EVP of EMEA Sales and Acquisitions at FIFTH SEASON.

"Season two of this family crime drama is explosive and we are pleased the BBC joins the growing number of our international partners."

"All I will say is if you found the first series exciting and engrossing, just wait until you see the twists and turns in series two!" Head of Programme Acquisition Sue Deeks said.

She added: "Anchored by a tremendous cast, Kin is a powerful and intense story of love, grief, family and crime, and its devastating ramifications."

Kin will launch on BBC, BBC iPlayer and AMC+ but no air dates have been confirmed.
