‘Bad Sisters’ Season 2 Is Confirmed, and Fans Have Some Odd Theories
The hilarious Apple TV+ dark comedy Bad Sisters will return with has been renewed for season 2. The storyline for the new installment has yet to be revealed. But fans have some of their own theories on which direction the next season might go.
‘Bad Sisters’ is renewed for season 2
Bad Sisters, which premiered on Apple TV+ on Nov. 8, 2022, follows the Garvey sisters — Eva (Sharon Horgan), Grace (Anne-Marie Duff), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Bibi (Sarah Greene), and Becka (Eve Hewson). When Grace’s husband dies, the siblings come together to support her.
But through flashbacks, details of Grace’s abusive marriage emerge. And it begins to look like her sisters had something to do with her husband’s death.
Fans of the series — which aired its finale on Oct. 14 — wondered if they’d ever see the Garvey clan back in action. Luckily, Apple TV+ renewed Bad Sisters for Season 2.
“The response to our show had been beyond what we could have hoped for,” co-creator and star Horgan said in a statement via Variety. “It gave us the opportunity to shine a light on stories that don’t always get such a global platform. I look forward to getting chilly in the Irish Sea one more time.”
Fans wonder what ‘Bad Sisters’ Season 2 will be about
Bad Sisters was written as a miniseries. And the finale didn’t leave fans with any cliffhangers or open endings. So when talking about what a potential season 2 storyline would look like, Horgan admitted she didn’t have anything mapped out as yet.
“Well, it’s a really weird one, because it absolutely ended where it ended,” Horgan told Variety. “The original series was a limited series and I approached it in that way entirely and felt like the ending was satisfying. But it’s been mad, the response, especially to the sisters, especially to that family. It’s a tricky thing to come up with characters that an audience loves and so – I don’t know.”
However, fans are already speculating about what’s to come. On Twitter, some suggested Ursula might plan to murder her husband, Donal (Jonjo O’Neill) in season 2. And on Reddit, one fan theorized the coming season could be more of an anthology like White Lotus.
“[The] new season could be about something totally unrelated to JP and his death,” the Redditor suggested. “I can’t see how they could drag out the JP story for another whole season. Maybe it’ll be the sisters on holiday and a mysterious death occurs and the whole season is a reveal of who did it and why, sort of like White Lotus?”
Some ‘Bad Sisters’ fans aren’t excited about a second season
While some fans are thrilled to see the Garvey sisters come back, others aren’t sure Bad Sisters needs a second season. Many feel that the Apple TV+ show was perfect, and they worry the next installment might feel forced.
“As much as I loved the show, I didn’t feel there was any scope for season 2!” one Reddit user wrote. “Am sure the scriptwriters must be having a lot of pressure to match the expectations!”
“They obviously can’t do a rinse and repeat of the first season.. or at least they shouldn’t,” another Redditor added. “We will see. The cast is fantastic and I loved everything about the locations, cinematography, writing, music… I’m not convinced there is a STORY there, but let’s see.”
However, while skeptical, some fans have faith that Horgan will come up with a great story and incorporate it in a way that doesn’t feel forced. “It’s very hard to know what a second season could potentially look like but I could say the same thing about Sharon Horgan’s other works and they all had great follow-up seasons,” a Reddit fan shared.
“While I’m a little worried because the ending was perfect, I have faith that Sharon Horgan and company can come up with the right story,” another Redditor chimed in. “I’d love to spend more time with the Garveys.”
Bad Sisters is currently streaming on Apple TV+.
