Horgan on BAD SISTERS 2

Sharon Horgan, who created and stars in the BAFTA-winning black comedy BAD SISTERS, recently discussed her career evolution on THE LATE LATE SHOW with Patrick Kielty. The show’s second season is currently airing, with Horgan admitting to some nervousness about the Irish audience’s reaction despite the first season’s success.

As both creator and star, Horgan faces unique challenges with BAD SISTERS’ second season. While writing entirely original material proved demanding compared to the first season’s adaptation from the Flemish series CLAN, she found herself deeply connected to the characters she had developed. The new season takes a darker turn, particularly in its second episode, as Horgan aimed to explore the realistic aftermath of abusive relationships.

This focus on complex, challenging narratives has become a hallmark of Horgan’s work. The Co Meath-raised creative force has built an impressive portfolio over the past decade, including acclaimed series like PULLING, CATASTROPHE, DIVORCE, and MOTHERLAND. Her on-screen presence has also grown, with notable appearances in films such as GAME NIGHT and DATING AMBER.

Despite her late start in the industry at age 36 with PULLING, which she co-wrote with Dennis Kelly, Horgan has established herself as a powerhouse in television creation and performance. Initially attributing her success to “lucky breaks” – including her collaboration with Rob Delaney on CATASTROPHE – she now acknowledges her achievements while maintaining her characteristic humility, shaped by her upbringing on a turkey farm. Her current success, she notes, comes from years of “constantly hustling” in the industry.

Season 2 of BAD SISTERS is now streaming on Apple TV+.
