RTE crime drama Kin to start filming second series at end of month

RTE crime drama Kin is set to start filming its second series at the end of this month, we can reveal.

The luxurious family home of the cartel located near the Aviva stadium will be on show again, as crew members were spotted moving furniture into the pad last week.

It comes as Clare Dunne, who plays Amanda Kinsella, enjoyed a coffee and a catch up with co-star Emmet J Scanlan after she performed her hilarious self-penned “Sure Look It, F**k It” at the Beyond The Pale festival in Glendalough estate in Wicklow.

The pair were spotted enjoying a catch up after her performance, which is a spoken-word journey that takes you through the streets of Dublin about her character Missy, a returned emigrant back in town after years of trying to “make it” in New York.

The Kin house was first used in a major production by TikTok’s GoHouse stars in 2020.

The 10 participants moved into the house to enable them to make content for their various social media profiles together, mirroring the American phenomenon. However, unlike many US-based content houses, the group of Irish young adults weren’t removed from the house for bad behaviour.

Instead, it is believed they left after a few weeks as a filming crew took out a 12 month lease on the property.

The Dublin house is unique, with endless glass panes and bespoke wooden walls. It includes an industrial style courtyard, as well as an expansive, astro-turf topped rooftop garden nestled against the backdrop of the Aviva.

The four-bedroom house boasts a home cinema and games room in the basement, complete with pool table.

The final episode of series one saw rival cartel boss Eamon Cunningham, played by Ciaran Hinds, gunned down in a Belgian airport by Michael Kinsella, played by Charlie Cox, in a move orchestrated by Amanda.
