Apple TV+ has announced that Bad Sisters will return for a second series.

The darkly comic murder mystery series overseen by and starring Sharon Horgan has picked up great reviews for its first series, which has just concluded on the platform. The streamer points out the programme currently holds the rare accolade of having a 100% score on ratings website Rotten Tomatoes.

Horgan says: "If you'd have told me three years ago that I'd be making a series about five murderous sisters chasing a man around Ireland trying to kill him I'd have said; yeah, that sounds about right. The response to our show had been beyond what we could have hoped for. It gave us the opportunity to shine a light on stories that don't always get such a global platform. I look forward to getting chilly in the Irish Sea one more time."

Sharon Horgan, Anne-Marie Duff, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene and Eve Hewson are all expected to return as the Garvey sisters, with the cast list also featuring Claes Bang, Brian Gleeson, Daryl McCormack, Assaad Bouab and newcomer Saise Quinn.

The series is written by Horgan with Brett Baer and Dave Finkel, who adapted it from the Belgian version of the series, Clan.

Series 2 is expected to be published on Apple TV+ in 2023.
