Is ‘Bad Sisters’ Returning for Season 2? Creator Sharon Horgan Weighs In

Warning: Spoilers for Bad Sisters ahead.
After a suspenseful, delightfully unconventional season, Bad Sisters delivered a seriously satisfying finale.
For 10 episodes, Apple TV+‘s dark comedic thriller — adapted from Malin-Sarah Gozin’s Flemish series, Clan — followed the Garvey sisters Eva (Sharon Horgan), Bibi (Sarah Greene), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), and Becka (Eve Hewson) as they tried to kill their prick of a brother-in-law JP (Claes Bang) and free their sister Grace (Anne-Marie Duff) from her abusive marriage.
The Season 1 finale neatly wrapped up the murder mystery, answering nearly all of fans’ long-held burning questions. But after falling love with the charming Garvey girls, we can’t help but wonder if we’ll ever see get to watch them again on our screens. Since the original show that inspired Bad Sisters was a limited series, does that mean there’s no chance the Apple TV+ adaptation returns with more episodes? Not necessarily.
When chatting with Bad Sisters creator and star Sharon Horgan about the Season 1 finale, Decider asked if she’d ever consider a Bad Sisters Season 2. If you breezed through the first 10 episodes of Bad Sisters and find yourself wanting more, here’s what Horgan has to say about the future of the Apple TV+ series and what a Season 2 of Bad Sisters might look like.

Will There Be a Bad Sisters Season 2? Here’s What Creator and Star Sharon Horgan Has To Say:

As noted, Clan, the Flemish series that Horgan adapted for Apple TV+ was a limited series, so when Horgan set out to create Bad Sisters, she planned to tell that 10-episode story alone. The main conflicts that drive Season 1 of Bad Sisters are shown in flashbacks as Grace’s sisters trying to kill JP, and in present-day as insurance agent brothers Thomas (Brian Gleeson) and Matt (Daryl McCormack) try to prove JP’s death wasn’t an accident. By the end of the Season 1 finale, both of those conflicts are resolved. We learn that Grace killed JP by strangling him. And Matt cracked the case, but decided to cover for the sisters and burn all the evidence.
It makes sense that Bad Sisters would end after just one season, but when asked if she’d consider continuing the series, Horgan didn’t shut down the idea entirely.
“Well, it’s a really tricky thing. Because like you said, that’s the story. It began as a limited series, and that’s how I approached it. But everyone keeps telling me how much they love it, including our overlords,” Horgan told Decider. “So I don’t know. I guess if a really great idea came along. At the same time I’m really satisfied, really satisfied, with the way it turned out.”
While you’re waiting to hear more about a potential Season 2 of Bad Sisters, Horgan and I suggest you rewatch Season 1, which will feel like an entirely new show the second time around. Once the finale gives you the full picture, you’ll realize the first nine episodes are littered with clues, starting in the very first scene when we see JP being buried in his pajamas, aka the murder weapon. (There’s also a whole new meaning behind his casket boner. Yikes.)

“There are SO many clues,” Horgan confirmed. “We put in so many little hidden treasures. And I love the thought that people might go back and see them.”

What Could Happen in Bad Sisters Season 2?

Since JP is dead, you might be wondering what a Bad Sisters Season 2 could look like. As Horgan said, she would want to wait for “a really great idea” to come along, but we last saw Grace selling her house so she and Blanaid (Saise Ní Chuinn) could move in with Eva, so we’d hopefully see that idyllic living situation in Season 2. The finale also showed Grace saying goodbye to her ride-or-die neighbor Roger (Michael Smiley), who helped her cover up JP’s death, so I’d love to see them reconnect in the future. And of course, one of the biggest unresolved storylines is Becka and Matt’s swoon-worthy romance.
When asked if she felt there was hope for Becka and Matt in the future, Horgan said she’d definitely be open to exploring their relationship if the show were to return.

“You know what, you’re gonna kill me when I say this… But I had written codas for each of the sisters. And one of the codas was obviously Matt and Becka went their separate ways, but she is walking along that sort of strand, and he’s there playing ball with those old guys, and they just see each other and then we kind of leave it,” Horgan told Decider. “They see each other, and you know there’s still something there… If we ever did anything further it’d be very hard not to want to see those two together.”
A final thought on Bad Sisters Season 2? Cast Stanley Tucci, a huge fan of the show who Horgan referenced in Season 1. She told Decider she “would love to work with him” at some point. The prick may be dead, but the Bad Sisters possibilities are endless. JP isn’t the only prick on the planet, so perhaps the Garvey girls could try to help other women in Grace’s shoes. One intentional murder is probably enough, though. So maybe Bad Sisters will show our favorite sisters living their normal, non-murderous lives and carrying out slightly less drastic shenanigans.
