Bad Sisters season 2 plot: What's it about?
Season 2 picks up two years after the "accidental" death of Grace's abusive husband John Paul.
"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," reads the synopsis.
Eva Birthistle, who plays Ursula, described season 2 as "more layered".
"It's a more convoluted, complex storyline," she continued. "And the new characters are really brilliant, and really spice things up.
"It all unfolds in a really surprising and shocking way, which I think the audience are not going to be necessarily prepared for, but I think they're going to really like.
Anne-Marie Duff (Grace) also teased some "some lovely twists and turns".
"And also, because it's Sharon's [Horgan] story this time [season 1 was based on Belgian series Clan], she can be as playful as she wants. She's not following another version of the story from before, so she just gets to get her tail feathers going as a writer. It's brilliant."
