Sharon Horgan and the cast of Bad Sisters are this week's Radio Times cover stars
The Garvey sisters got away with murder in series 1 - but Sharon Horgan and her co-stars are back and trying to escape the consequences of their dark deed.
The BAFTA-winning comedy thriller Bad Sisters was only supposed to be a one-off.
Adapted from a Belgian drama called Clan by the brilliant Sharon Horgan, it was to burn brightly and never return. But viewers had other ideas and, as can be the way with hit shows like this, word of mouth created a buzz and viewing figures that couldn't be ignored.
As Sharon Horgan tells us, "We had a sense that it could have legs for more, plus I kept having ideas for what could happen." The rest of the cast agreed and signed up straightaway for the sequel.
In this week's Radio Times, we ask all five stars of the show about what makes Bad Sisters so special, but for Eve Hewson it's simple - "Sharon can capture a woman in distress and make her a heroine, and also have this charm to her and comedic, all wrapped up in one."
A thrilling and funny drama written by a woman with five female leads is something to be celebrated. For more of that, read our interview with Rebecca Hall on her own return to TV in The Listeners, which is also directed by a woman, Janicza Bravo. Sisters really are doing it for themselves, and long may that continue.
