Bad Sisters

The Garvey sisters are back. Apple TV+ announced that its globally acclaimed comedic drama Bad Sisters will return for season two on November 13, and shared a glimpse at the highly anticipated second season. From Emmy Award-nominee and BAFTA Award-winning executive producer and star Sharon Horgan, the eight-episode second season of Bad Sisters will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, followed by one episode weekly, every Wednesday through December 25. Bad Sisters, season two returns to follow the lives of the Garvey sisters played by Sharon Horgan as 'Eva,' Anne-Marie Duff as ‘Grace,' Eva Birthistle as ‘Ursula,' Sarah Greene as ‘Bibi,’ and Eve Hewson as ‘Becka.’ Two years after the “accidental death” of ‘Grace’s’ abusive husband, the close-knit Garvey sisters may have moved on but when past truths resurface, the ladies are thrust back into the spotlight, suspicions are at an all-time high, lies are told, secrets revealed and the sisters are forced to work out who they can trust.

A delicious blend of both dark comedy and thriller, the critically acclaimed series welcomes new and returning cast in its second season including Fiona Shaw, Owen McDonnell, Thaddea Graham, Barry Ward, Michael Smiley, Saise Quinn, Daryl McCormack, Yasmine Akram, Jonjo O’Neill, Peter Claffey, Deirdre Mullins, Lorcan Cranitch, Liz Fitzgibbon, and Justine Mitchell.
