Four sisters, one dead husband, and a secret they will carry to their graves — Bad Sisters turns a family bound by grief into a study of loyalty under pressure.
What is Bad Sisters about?
The Garvey sisters lost their parents young and made a pact to look out for one another no matter what. That promise is tested when the marriage of the eldest, Grace, to a controlling, unpleasant husband pushes the rest of the family toward a decision none of them can take back. Told across two timelines, the series moves between a life insurance investigation chasing inconsistencies in a recent death and the months leading up to it, when small cruelties inside Grace's household pile up into something the sisters can no longer ignore. Dublin's suburbs, workplaces, and family kitchens ground the story, keeping the tone closer to dark comedy than thriller even as the stakes climb. Sharon Horgan, who created and stars in the series, builds an ensemble where every sister gets a distinct temperament and a reason to protect the others.
About the cast
Sharon Horgan leads and created the show, joined by Anne-Marie Duff, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene, and Eve Hewson as her sisters, with Claes Bang rounding out the central cast. The ensemble carries much of the series' shifting tone between comedy and tension.
