Season 1 of Bad Sisters was filled with shocking events, twists, and turns that will heavily impact the Garvey sisters in Season 2. The original series on Apple TV Plus follows the journey of the five Garvey sisters as they plot to murder Grace's (Anne-Marie Duffy) abusive and manipulative husband, who serves as the main antagonist. This Irish black comedy has gained popularity for its addictive storyline and thrilling suspense, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats throughout Season 1. While the mystery was unraveled by the end of the first season, creator Sharon Horgan promises even more shocking madness in Season 2.

Eva Garvey

Season 1 of Bad Sisters received immense praise from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, with particular emphasis on its exceptional writing and outstanding ensemble performances. The show garnered multiple Primetime Emmy nominations, including Best Writing, highlighting its potential for further greatness. The relatable main characters of Bad Sisters strike a balance between likability and their shared desire to eliminate John Paul (Claes Bang), leaving everyone as a potential suspect with a motive, reminiscent of the best mystery tales from the past. While the initial storyline may appear resolved, it is evident that it is far from being concluded.

Eva (Sharon Horgan) emerges as the most resolute among the sisters, driven by ample motivation to eliminate John Paul. In the flashbacks, Eva takes the lead in devising the scheme to dispose of him and actively participates in the majority of the plans aimed at removing John Paul from the equation. Whether it was attempting to blow him up in his cabin or poisoning him with a tainted steak, Eva's intention to seek revenge was evident from the very beginning. In addition to her determination to protect her abused sister, Eva's primary motivation to kill John Paul stems from being unjustly denied a work promotion due to his deceitful actions.

Grace Williams

The conclusion of season 1 of Bad Sisters also revealed that Eva had experienced sexual assault from John Paul in the past, which ultimately led to her infertility. This revelation came after the true identity of John Paul's killer had been uncovered, adding yet another shocking twist to a series already renowned for its bleak outcomes. Eva's unwavering protectiveness towards Grace is bound to persist beyond season 1, and it is likely that season 2 of this remarkable Apple TV Plus show will delve into the emotional aftermath of Eva's assault and explore how she copes with the loss of purpose that accompanies it.

Grace, the wife of John Paul, endures constant abuse and suffers in silence. Unaware of her sisters' sinister plan to eliminate her dreadful spouse, Grace remains oblivious. Although she is not prominently featured in the current timeline, previous episodes of Bad Sisters showcased numerous occasions where she was subjected to verbal abuse by her husband. Despite his disgraceful behavior, she staunchly defended him. In a shocking turn of events, Grace was the one who ultimately murdered John Paul in season 1 of Bad Sisters. Looking back, the signs were painfully apparent. While she received assistance from her friend Roger (Michael Smiley) to carry out the act, Grace was the one who delivered the fatal blow.

Ursula Flynn

Shows like Bad Sisters heavily rely on the element of mystery to drive the storyline. However, the captivating exploits of the Garvey sisters are intriguing enough to stand on their own. Consequently, the second season of the show is expected to undergo significant changes for Grace. She will grapple with the daunting reality of being a murderer and will need to navigate her new life as a single mother after escaping an abusive relationship. Even if another mysterious event arises within the Garvey family, Grace will likely assume a more prominent role, finally having the opportunity to break free from her shell now that John Paul is no longer in the picture.

Ursula (Eva Birthistle), known as the cautious sister, used her medical connections as a nurse to aid Eva and Bibi (Sarah Greene) in their earlier scheme to poison John Paul. Her primary motive to eliminate John Paul stems from him discovering her affair, and subsequently using this information to mentally torment her. Taking it a step further, John Paul attempted to blackmail Ursula by threatening to reveal the affair to her husband, which ultimately led to their irreparable break.

While she claimed to have ended her affair in the middle of Bad Sisters season 1, the final episode revealed that she hadn't fully embraced a responsible lifestyle again. With her previous disregard for consequences, it is likely that Ursula will become more careless and open in season 2, which will deeply impact her personal life. Additionally, this may create tension between her and her sisters, as they each have their own secrets to hide.

Bibi Garvey

Similar to her older sister Eva, Bibi had no reservations about trying to get rid of John Paul right from the start. Throughout the first season, fragments of her sordid past with the scoundrel were unveiled, and it was his deliberately reckless driving that caused her to lose one of her eyes in a car accident. Bad Sisters turned the tables on traditional murder mystery norms as the story unfolded in hindsight, and the dark humor often emerged from Bibi and Eva's unsuccessful attempts, including poisoning, explosions, and even Bibi's disastrous frozen paintball scheme. Although she didn't succeed in killing John Paul, she definitely had the desire to.

Becka Garvey

Bibi's future in Bad Sisters season 2 is uncertain, but she is likely to find herself in a similar situation as Eva, who must navigate the sudden absence of a villain in her life. The loss of Bibi's eye in a car accident serves as a parallel to the tragic deaths of her parents in a similar incident, forcing the hardened character to confront her life of perpetual loss. It is possible that in season 2, Bibi may begin to open up and reveal a more vulnerable side, contrasting with characters like Grace who grow increasingly aggressive.

In her family, the youngest of the Garvey sisters was hesitant to partake in the plot to murder John Paul. Becka, portrayed by Eve Hewson, made several errors due to her strong desire to prove herself. A flashback reveals that Becka was deceived by John Paul, who lied about financing her fledgling massage parlor business, resulting in her getting hurt. Similar to her sister Grace, Becka was inclined to make excuses for John Paul until she stumbled upon the lifeless body of his father stored in a freezer. Taking matters into her own hands, Becka devised a scheme to capture John Paul inside the freezer with the intention of ending his life; tragically, she unintentionally killed his elderly mother instead.

In the world of Bad Sisters, a dark comedy, Becka finds herself caught in a remarkably dramatic storyline that stretches beyond the boundaries of season 1. A heavy burden weighs on her shoulders as she grapples with the haunting reality of having taken an innocent life. Furthermore, her relationship with insurance adjuster Matthew, portrayed by Daryl McCormack, stands on shaky ground. Matthew deliberately eliminates any evidence that could incriminate Grace, but it is improbable that this upright character would be willing to turn a blind eye indefinitely, especially if he continues his romantic involvement with Becka in the upcoming season 2 of Bad Sisters.
