Has Bad Sisters been renewed for season 3?
Creator and star Sharon Horgan has been speaking about show's future.
Warning: Contains spoilers for Bad Sisters seasons 1-2.
Bad Sisters delivered another deliciously dark serving of Garvey bedlam in its second season.
In the show's first chapter, TV's most dysfunctional family spent their days hunting the nefarious John Paul, who was, in the end, killed by his own wife Grace.
But in the show's second chapter, the sisters had become the hunted as the police suspected there was more to his untimely end than initially met the eye.
"It's a more convoluted, complex storyline," said Eva Birthistle ahead of its release. "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."
And she wasn't wrong...
We've broken down the season 2 ending for you already – and we also spoke to its creator and star Sharon Horgan about whether the comedy will be back for more.
Read on for everything you need to know about a potential Bad Sisters season 3.
Has Bad Sisters been renewed for season 3?
Apple TV+ has yet to announce if more episodes are on their way.
Speaking previously to RadioTimes.com, Horgan said: "I don't know [if we'll do a third season]. We've been talking about it a lot today, but again, like the second season, it would have to be a really great idea."
She added: "I love hanging out with those girls, and I love making the show. It's hard to leave that behind, so I'm just keeping my brain open for ideas."
Executive producer Dearbhla Walsh went on to say that season 2 "has an ending" and "does feel satisfying... so this one is complete".

When would a Bad Sisters season 3 air?
Season 1 arrived in August 2022, with season 2 debuting more than two years later, in November 2024 – so we could be waiting quite a while, possibly until 2027 if it is given the thumbs up to continue, particularly given that Horgan has yet to develop an idea.
Potential Bad Sisters season 3 cast: Who could return?
Anne-Marie Duff's character Grace died in a car accident in the season 2 premiere, so that probably rules her out – unless there are flashback scenes.
If season 3 is given the green light, we'd expect the following to all return:
- Sharon Horgan as Eva
- Sarah Greene as Bibi
- Eva Birthistle as Ursula
- Eve Hewson as Becka
- Saise Quinn as Blánaid
- Jonjo O'Neill as Donal
- Yasmine Akram as Nora
As for the rest of the cast, we'll have to wait and see.
Bad Sisters seasons 1-2 are available to stream now on Apple TV+ – sign up to Apple TV+ here.
