If You Liked ‘Bad Sisters,’ You’ll Love Another Sharon Horgan TV Show
Sharon Horgan stars in and co-created the new Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters. For viewers who want to see more of her work, there’s another series worth checking out.
‘Bad Sisters’ was developed by Sharon Horgan
Horgan is an Irish actor, comedian, writer, director, and producer who’s worked on dozens of popular film and television projects over the years. Her latest hit, Bad Sisters, is based on a Flemish series called Clan. Horgan co-wrote the script and also served as a producer.
Bad Sisters follows Horgan’s character, Eva Garvey, who is the eldest of five sisters — Grace Williams (Anne-Marie Duff), Ursula Flynn (Eva Birthistle), Bibi Garvey (Sarah Greene), and Becka Garvey (Eve Hewson). The show picks up with the siblings as they deal with Grace’s husband’s death and the following life insurance investigation.
But there’s more to the sisters’ story than it seems. They’re fiercely protective of each other. And as revealed in flashbacks, after learning of Grace’s abusive relationship, they may have been responsible for killing her husband.
