How to watch Kin season 2 - is it available in the UK?
The Irish crime drama has been a huge hit with viewers.
While fans continue to clamour for news regarding a potential third season of Irish crime drama Kin, viewers in the UK have a new avenue through which they can watch the first two seasons.
Season 2 of the critically acclaimed series, which is written and created by Peter McKenna and co-created by Ciarán Donnelly, first arrived in the UK in February on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, but now it has been added to another platform as well.
The second season continues the story of the Kinsellas, a crime family based in Dublin who, after defeating Eamon Cunningham, now have a new enemy to contend with – and they’re even more deadly than the last adversary.
The show features a stacked cast including Aiden Gillen, Charlie Cox and Ciarán Hinds. But how can viewers watch Kin season 2? Read on for everything you need to know.
