RadioTimes.com has got an exclusive clip from the new film, which is releasing in January.
While fans are enjoying this season of Bad Sisters, there's no doubt that there's a notable Claes Bang-shaped hole, after his villainous character's demise in season 1.
Thankfully, viewers don't have to wait long to see him in a brand-new leading role, as he leads BAFTA Award-winning director Nick Hamm's new film, William Tell, which is being released in cinemas on 10th January 2025.
