APPLE TV+ ADDS BAD SISTERS SEASON 2 TO LIST OF RECENT RENEWALS

Apple TV+ have announced a second season for Bad Sisters, the darkly comedic murder mystery series from Emmy Award nominee and BAFTA Award-winning executive producer and star Sharon Horgan.

"If you’d have told me three years ago that I’d be making a series about five murderous sisters chasing a man around Ireland trying to kill him I’d have said; yeah, that sounds about right,” says Horgan, via press release. “The response to our show had been beyond what we could have hoped for. It gave us the opportunity to shine a light on stories that don’t always get such a global platform.” 

Based upon the Belgian series Clan, Bad Sisters has been hailed by critics as “one of the year's best shows,” “wickedly funny, genuinely poignant” and “this year’s most vicious comic treat.”; it currently holds a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The recently aired Season 1 finale was dubbed “the most satisfying TV finale of the year.” The Critics Choice Association Women’s Committee recently granted Bad Sisters with the newly launched Seal of Female Empowerment in Entertainment (SOFEE).

The series focuses on the tight-knit Garvey sisters, five women who have always looked out for each other. When their brother-in-law winds up dead, his life insurers launch an investigation to prove malicious intent — and set their sights on the sisters, all of whom had ample reason to kill him. 

In addition to Horgan, the Garvey sisters are played by Anne-Marie Duff (His Dark Materials; Shameless), Eva Birthistle (The Last Kingdom; Fate: The Winx Saga) , Sarah Greene (Frank of Ireland; Normal People) and Eve Hewson (The Knick; Behind Her Eyes).

In one of the great villainous turns of the 2022 television year, Claes Bang (The Square; The Northman) is unforgettable as Jean-Paul, with Brian Gleeson, Daryl McCormack, Assaad Bouab and newcomer Saise Quinn rounding out the stellar ensemble.

Bad Sisters is the latest Apple Original success to be rewarded with season extensions. Amongst the streamer’s hits due to return are Trying (S4), Physical (S3), Loot (S2), Slow Horses (S2), For All Mankind (S4), Pachinko (S2), Schmigadoon! (S2), Swagger (S2), as well as the second season of Emmy-nominated Severance.
