Charlie Cox Wants a “Proper Job” in Exclusive Sneak Peek at AMC+’s ‘Kin’

Every family has their struggles—but few families compare to the Kinsellas. AMC+’s new crime drama Kin invites viewers into the home of one of the most dangerous crime families in Ireland. There’s plenty of love to go around and plenty of blood on everybody’s hands. Crime is the family business in the Kinsella clan, and there’s no getting around it.

But that’s exactly what prodigal son Michael (Charlie Cox) aims to do in this clip, an exclusive sneak peek at Kin. He’s just been released from a stint in jail and he doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize his parole. All he wants is for his family to fix him up with a nice legal job making clean money—well, as clean as money can be after coming into contact with any member of this family. But because Kin is a relentless crime drama that lives up to AMC’s bloody legacy, you know Michael’s new gig probably won’t last long.

Kin’s success really hinges upon the incredibly rich family dynamic formed by this cast. In an exclusive interview with Decider, series star Charlie Cox spoke about how close the cast and crew really became. “Interestingly enough, myself, Emmett Scanlan—who plays Jimmy, my [character’s]brother—and Sam Keeley—who plays Viking—all rented apartments in the same building by chance, so we got very close,” said Cox. “We spent a lot of time together. We’d have meals together, we used the gym together, so that was really fun.”

The circumstances of the shoot, filming in Dublin during a pandemic, also forged bonds that felt stronger than usual. “I think that certainly aided the dynamic within the show. There was a sense that we were, with the cast and the crew as well, that we were all going through something together,” Cox told Decider. “We had a common bond and we were navigating a very difficult, traumatizing time. And everyone was a little on edge and a little frightened, and it was important that we all supported each other. We couldn’t go out. Even if lockdown was eased for a minute, you felt a sense of responsibility. You couldn’t just go to a restaurant and have a meal, because you could impact not just your immediate family, but an entire crew of people. I think all of those things did play into into the fire family dynamic that reveals itself on screen as well.”

Kin premieres on AMC+ on September 9.
