Superb TV show that fans couldn’t stop bingeing ‘cancelled after 2 seasons’

A ‘gripping’ Irish comedy series that was nominated for 4 Emmys and a Bafta has been ‘axed’ after two seasons.

Created by and starring Sharon Horgan, Bad Sisters was based on the Belgian series Clan and followed the five Garvey sisters – Eva (Sharon), Grace (Anne-Marie Duff), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Bibi (Sarah Greene) and Becka (Eve Hewson).

The first season of the Apple TV Plus series – which was released in 2022 – followed the sisters in the aftermath of the death of Grace’s abusive husband John Paul (Claes Bang), with the siblings then becoming the focus of a life insurance investigation.

It then returned last year for a subsequent season, which was set two years after JP’s death as the sisters were doing their best to move on, but were ‘thrust back into the spotlight when a past truth resurfaced’.

Both seasons were critically acclaimed, with reviews saying it was a ‘hilariously funny black comedy’.

‘Bad Sisters is compelling and truthful in a way that will leave viewers laughing to keep from feeling the pain, all while cheering the Garvey sisters on,’ CBR wrote in its review.
