The series aired on BBC One on April 6, 2014. He also starred in a low-budget horror film, House of Him, which was released during the Glasgow Film Festival in February, 2014. The film had a budget of approximately £900 and starred many of his old Burnistoun colleagues, including Robert Florence, Kirsty Strain and Louise Stewart.

In January 2015, Rankin joined the cast of the BBC One crime drama series Silent Witness in the two-part story "Fallen Angels", playing Detective Inspector Luke Nelson.
