The acclaimed show returns for a second series tonight and Emmett, who plays Jimmy Kinsella, said viewers will not be disappointed.
Kin star Emmett J Scanlan has teased an “explosive” opener to the second season of the hit RTE crime drama.
New head of the crime family Amanda challenges the Turks – and there’s a cliffhanger at the end of every episode. Emmett said: “The only thing I can say is if you thought the Kinsellas’ troubles would dissipate in some capacity with Eamon’s death, you’re naive. Emmett revealed: “We’re back at The Furry Bog [pub] in Whitechurch, it’s where we filmed quite a bit of it. We are obviously back at the house just beside the Aviva Stadium. I stayed in Hanover Quay [during filming]. It was so handy.
“And he will take you hopefully over the next eight weeks on a journey where you will say ‘I think I prefer this season to last season’.” Emmett, 44, who has played his fair share of baddies over the years, admitted he loves playing a complex character like Jimmy. With its huge ratings – and clocking up an astonishing 2.47million streams on the RTE Player – Kin is still being compared with RTE crime drama Love/Hate.
