Starting this Thursday on AMC+, Maria Doyle Kennedy will be seen as Birdie Kinsella in the new Irish crime series, Kin.
Kennedy has been charming audiences since her debut in the movie The Commitments. Her television roles are downright iconic at this point, including her role as Queen Catherine of Aragon on The Tudors, Siobhan "S" Sadler on Orphan Black, and Jocasta Cameron on Outlander.
On Kin, she's Bridget "Birdie" Goggins, one of the sprawling Kinsella family, who run a Dublin drug syndicate.
We managed to catch a few minutes with her to talk about the show, which features a superb cast, including Charlie Cox, Aidan Gillen, Claire Dunne, Ciaran Hinds, and Emmett Scanlan.
There is another highly-acclaimed show set in Dublin about the drug trade, Love/Hate, but Kennedy says that it won't be difficult for Kin to make its own mark on the audience.

Phyllida Lloyd’s previous two films are very polar opposite of one another. In 2008, she took us to the sun-soaked isles of Greece with Abba song addled movie Mamma Mia! and in 2011, she worked with Meryl Streep once more for Academy Award winning biopic The Iron Lady. A musical, a drama about Margaret Thatcher and now Lloyd, almost nine years after her last film, changes speed with tender drama Herself.
Starring Clare Dunne, Herself revolves around single mother Sandra. After leaving an abusive relationship with Gary, Sandra falls into a housing system which continuously lets her down. Struggling to provide for her children, Sandra decides to buy a plot of land and rebuild her life, literally, by building her own home. All the while, Gary is pursuing sole-custody of her children, and throwing Sandra into an intense legal battle.

The restrictions come at a deeply unfortunate time for cinema owners and distributors.
All of Ireland’s cinemas have closed for at least three weeks as new government Covid-19 regulations came into force today (October 7).
The country moved into phase three of its five-phase Living With Covid-19 plan at midnight. This remains in place for the next three weeks and means no organised indoor events are permitted to take place, while museums, galleries and other cultural attractions must close.
Dublin and the northern county of Donegal have already been subject to local phase three restrictions for the past fortnight.
