Apple TV+ Sets November Premiere Date for 'Bad Sisters' Season 2

At long last, the Garvey sisters will officially return in the fall of 2024. It's been nearly two years since the buzzy first season of Apple TV+'s buzzy dark comedy/thriller Bad Sisters aired. Finally, its highly anticipated second outing is set to arrive in November. Based on the Walter Presents series The Out Laws (Clan), the 2012 Belgian thriller that hit it big in the U.K. when it aired on Channel 4 (but has not come to PBS Passport), Apple TV+'s English-language remake is one of the few not produced by EagleEye Drama in any fashion.

The series' critically acclaimed first season follows the story of the tight-knit Garvey clan and the siblings who come together to decide what to do about their eldest sister's cruel husband, collectively known as "The Prick." But when he turns up dead, the women — each of who had reasons for wanting him out of their collective lives — find themselves under investigation by a pair of desperate life insurance agents determined to prove malicious intent so that they can avoid a large payout. Bad Sisters' first season won a BAFTA Television Award for Best Drama Series, alongside a Best Supporting Actress win for Duff. The series also nabbed four Emmy nominations.

Given that the Season 1 finale tied up most of the loose ends from its ten-episode run, it's fair to ask where the story could go next. Season 2 will apparently take place two years after John Paul's (Claes Bang) death. The Garvey family is forced to face new challenges when they are thrust back into the public eye, and old truths slowly begin to come to light. 

Here's the Season 2 synopsis. 

Two years after the “accidental death” of Grace’s abusive husband, the close-knit Garvey sisters may have moved on, but when past truths resurface, the ladies are thrust back into the spotlight, suspicions are at an all-time high, lies are told, secrets revealed and the sisters are forced to work out who they can trust.

The series ensemble stars Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe) as Eva, Anne-Marie Duff (Suspect) as Grace, Eva Birthistle (The Last Kingdom) as Ursula, Sarah Greene (Sexy Beast) as Bibi, and Eve Hewson (The Luminaries) as Becka. Other returning cast includes Daryl McCormack (The Woman in the Wall) as insurance agent Matt Claffin; Barry Ward (Anne Boleyn) as Inspector Fergal Loftus; Michael Smiley (Obituary) as Roger Muldoon, Grace's next-door neighbor; Saise Quinn (Monster) as Grace's daughter Blanaid; Yasmine Akram (There She Goes) as Bibi's wife Nora; Jonjo O’Neill (The New Look) as Ursula's husband Donal Flynn; and Peter Claffey (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) as Becka's ex Callum.

New faces joining the series' ensemble in Season 2 are Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve), Owen McDonnell (Great Expectations), Thaddea Graham (Wreck), Deirdre Mullins (Shadow and Bone), Lorcan Cranitch (The Crown), Liz Fitzgibbon (Normal People) and Justine Mitchell (Derry Girls). 

Horgan produces Bad Sisters Season 2 with Faye Dorn and Clelia Mountford, while Dearbhla Walsh also serves as executive producer and director. Additional executive producers include Bert Hamelnick, Michael Sagol, Dave Finkel, Brett Baer, and Malin-Sarah Gozin, who created Clan, the original Belgian series from which the Apple TV+ comedy is adapted. 

Bad Sisters Season 2 will premiere with the first two episodes on Wednesday, November 13, followed by one episode weekly, every Wednesday through December 25, 2024.
