Cottontail tells the story of a Japanese widower who travels with his son to England to fulfill his deceased wife's last wish, and scatter her ashes amongst the natural beauty of the Lake District (the land of writer Beatrix Potter, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist, whose tales of Peter Rabbit captivated her as a child.).
He ends up making the trip alone after an argument with his son, and after a nightmarish entry to the U.K., eventually meets John (Ciarán) with whom he develops a strong friendship
Ciarán will star alongside Lily Franky, Ryô Nishikido and Jessie Buckley.
Shooting will begin in June in Japan and the U.K.
Fimed in Dublin despite the challenges brought on by the coronavirus, the eight-part series follows the chaotic lives of a fictional Dublin family at the centre of a gangland war. It's loosely inspired by the story of the Kinahan Cartel - a family of Irish gangsters shipping drugs in and out of Dublin while fighting gangs in the city.
"Kin, at its heart, is a global story about grief, love, loss, and the ties that bind us", said David Davoli, President of Television for BRON studios.
Ciarán will star alongside an impressive line-up of Irish acors including Clare Dunne (Outlander), Aidan Gillen, Sam Keeley, Emmett Scanlan, Maria Doyle Kennedy, and a new actress, Yasmin Seky.
It will be aired on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player this autumn.
"This won't take too much of your time. And you don't need to be blown out of your seats; you can just be a human being and watch this little journey and feel things. It has its own heartbeat, unlike anything else," Ciarán says.
When the media are full of worrying news, Stephen Warbeck's The Man in the Hat is a refreshing change.
It will be released digitally on Monday, October 19.
At last, after the earth had stood still for almost six months, life starts again.
Ciarán will play the grandfather in Belfast, the semi-autobiographical film Kenneth Branagh is currently shooting in Northern Ireland and England.
Branagh described the film as a 'very personal movie about a place and people I love', adding that his parents were related to half of Belfast, and he went to school with the other half.
