AMC Networks announced today from the Television Critics’ Association (TCA) Press Tour, the renewal of six original series across its suite of premium streaming services, including shows from AMC+, Acorn TV, and Shudder. The AMC+ Original hit Irish crime drama Kin<\/em><\/strong> is getting a second season; Acorn TV Original series Bloodlands<\/em><\/strong> and My Life is Murder<\/em><\/strong> are both renewed for seasons 2 and 3, respectively, along with London Kills<\/em><\/strong> for seasons 3 and 4. Shudder has ordered new seasons for two acclaimed anthologies, including the fourth season for Greg Nicotero’s Creepshow<\/em><\/strong> and a new installment in the Slasher franchise, titled Slasher: Ripper<\/em><\/strong> and starring Eric McCormack (Will & Grace<\/em>). McCormack will play the role of Basil Garvey, a charismatic tycoon whose success is only rivaled by his ruthlessness, as he oversees a city on the cusp of a new century, and a social upheaval that will see its streets run red with blood.<\/p>\n

Viewers were enthralled by the first season of AMC+’s gripping Irish gangland drama Kin<\/em> which became one of AMC+’s biggest new series launches of 2021, driving both strong viewership and new subscriber sign-ups. A hit with both audiences and critics, scoring 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, the series starring Charlie Cox (Daredevil, Boardwalk Empire<\/em>), Clare Dunne (Herself<\/em>), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones<\/em>), and Ciar\u00e1n Hinds (Game of Thrones, The Terror<\/em>) charts the lives of the Kinsellas, a small but tight-knit crime family embroiled in a war against a powerful drug kingpin, Eamon Cunningham (Hinds<\/em>). The new season, which begins production this summer, will see the Kinsellas as the top dogs in Dublin, but killing Eamon Cunningham has created as many problems as it solved. They have incurred the wrath of an enemy even more dangerous than him. And where once there was “the unbreakable bonds of blood and family,” now there is only suspicion, distrust, and resentment. But the greatest threat to the family emerges from “within” – in the shape of ruthless, bullying, agent of chaos. Fortunately, from positions of great adversity, the boldest plans are often forged. And so it is with the Kinsellas. Kin is produced by BRON Studios and Headline Pictures. Peter McKenna (The Last Kingdom, Red Rock<\/em>) serves as showrunner\/executive producer, writer, and creator.<\/p>
