Horgan will executive producer, write and star in Bad Sisters, a 10-episode series set to air later this year. It is part of a deal between the Apple TV+ and Horgan and will be produced by her production company, Merman. It is an adaptation of Belgian series Clan.
Bad Sisters is described as a "delicious blend of both dark comedy and thriller", and follows the lives of the Garvey sisters, who are bound together by the premature death of their parents and a promise to always protect one another.

The sisters will be played by Horgan, Anne-Marie Duff (Suffragette, The Salisbury Poisonings), Eva Birthistle (Brooklyn, The Last Kingdom), Sarah Greene (Dublin Murders) and Eve Hewson (The Luminaries).

Horgan is best known for her Channel 4 series Catastrophe, and was recently cast opposite Michael Sheen in Best Interests, the new BBC drama from His Dark Material writer Jack Thorne.
