Synopsis of Bad Sisters

Eva, Grace, Ursula, Bibi and Becka Garvey are five sisters who live in Dublin and have always looked out for one another.

When John Paul dies unexpectedly, the sisters find themselves caught up in an investigation by a life insurance company. The series alternates between two timelines. In the first, the sisters plot to get rid of their brother-in-law. In the second, an insurance agent determined to save his struggling business tries to prove they are involved. Created by Sharon Horgan, Dave Finkel and Brett Baer, it airs on Apple TV, and Horgan leads the cast.

Trivia about Bad Sisters

The first season received positive reviews from critics and won a Peabody Award in 2022.

In addition to the award for Best Drama Series, the first season won two more BAFTAs at the 2023 ceremony.

It earned three nominations in major categories at the 75 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Lead Actress for Sharon Horgan.

The opening credits feature a physical Rube Goldberg-style machine, built from dangerous objects and props from the series.

The theme song is a cover of "Who by Fire" by Leonard Cohen, performed by PJ Harvey.

Part of the first season was filmed in Sandycove, the Forty Foot, Howth and Malahide, in the area around Dublin.

Although it was initially presented as a limited miniseries, Sharon Horgan and the team began considering a continuation during filming of the first season, and Apple TV+ renewed the series for a second season.

Sharon Horgan said she originally wanted to play Bibi, but the role went to Sarah Greene. She said she was especially drawn to the character's eye patch and her bow and arrow.
