In addition to Cox and Gillen, the series also features Peaky Blinders star Emmett J Scanlan, Clare Dunne from The Last Duel, and Outlander's Maria Doyle Kennedy. Ciarán Hinds also appears in season 1.
When the BBC secured rights to air the series, its head of programme acquisitions Sue Deeks said: "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!"
She previously described Kin as "a powerful and intense story of love, grief, family and crime, and its devastating ramifications".
Exclusively chatting to Digital Spy back in 2022, Cox, who plays Michael Kinsella, opened up about adopting an Irish accent for the show.
"Challenging, stressful, nerve-wracking," he described the process. "I've done accents in the past, and I find them to be very elusive.
"It's not just about getting the sounds right. It's about so much more. I work very, very hard with accents. I kind of immerse myself, and work with an accent coach.
"The one thing I do is, I find podcasts hosted by people of the region, and I listen to them a lot. I found a guy whose accent... I thought his voice and accent was appropriate for Michael... I just basically listened and repeated him for days on end."
Kin airs on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK and is broadcast on RTÉ in Ireland, while US fans can catch it on AMC+.
