RTE Kin character survival odds for season three after dramatic finale

The dramatic finale of RTE's hit show Kin has left viewers stunned.

Cruel mobster Bren, who was officially ousted as a paedophile following strong hints throughout the series, was shot dead by his much-maligned brother Frank, played by Aidan Gillen. And in a major twist for viewers, Frank, who had been beaten to a pulp by Bren, then turned the gun on himself.

While season two ended with a shocking twist, there are still many unanswered questions left ahead of the third season of the show. Casino Source has compiled the odds for both the main character's chances of surviving and also to steer clear of Mountjoy Prison by the end of the hit show.

Traders gave Anthony, who finally got revenge or his brother Jamie after gunning down killer Glen Wright and his associate, a 1/1 or 50% odds of survival. Meanwhile, Amanda's jail odds say she's 28.9% more likely to end up behind bars.

Things often don’t go to plan for Amanda’s enemies, hence Madigan’s not-so-favourable probabilities of seeing out season three alive (25%) or ending up in jail (50%). "The Magician" Michael Kinsella has enough enemies that his chances of getting clipped (3/1) or nicked (5/1) will always remain relatively high.

Also, there are major chances that his cousin Eirc "Viking" Kinsella will go off the rails after his dad's possible death and the breakdown of his relationship with Nikki. The odds of him ending up in jail are at 2/1.

Casino Source spokesperson Colm Phelan said: "Writers have indicated there will be a maximum of three seasons of Kin, and if that’s the case we can expect at least one of the Kinsella crew to either take a bullet or end up behind bars. We expect Wayne Madigan to have a more prominent role next season and spark what should be a bloody feud with the Kinsella’s and company, but if history is anything to go by the main antagonist rarely wins against the well-spoken gangsters.

"Probably the most interesting storylines will be around Amanda's legal battle, alongside her son Anthony who could also face some interrogation as to his role in the Glen Wright shooting, as well as the repercussions he might face from the grieving family."
