Apple TV+ Cancels Hit Comedy Bad Sisters After Lead Star Moves to HBO

Apple TV+ has canceled the acclaimed dark comedy series Bad Sisters after two successful seasons, disappointing many fans who hoped for a third installment. The show, set in Dublin and centering on the Garvey sisters caught in a life insurance investigation, was praised for its unique blend of black humor and suspense, earning multiple awards and strong critical acclaim. The cancellation follows lead star and writer Sharon Horgan's departure to HBO, where she has signed a lucrative two-year first-look television deal and is already developing a new original comedy series. Industry insiders noted that while some viewers felt the story had reached a natural conclusion, the shelving of the show is still a significant loss, as it was one of the few recent comedies to resonate deeply with audiences. The series featured a strong ensemble cast including Anne-Marie Duff, Sarah Greene, Eve Hewson, and Eva Birthistle, and enjoyed high ratings such as an 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans expressed their disappointment on social media, underscoring the show's impact and popularity despite its short run.
