Plot
In Bad Sisters, the Garvey sisters, Eva, Grace, Ursula, Bibi, and Becka, are bound by the traumatic loss of their parents and a vow to always protect one another.
The first season reveals how four of the sisters conspired to kill their brother-in-law, John Paul, who was not only abusive to Grace but also tormented each of them in different ways. The story unfolds across two timelines: before John Paul’s death, where we witness the sisters' plotting, and after, as the investigation into his mysterious demise intensifies.
As life insurer Thomas Claffin and his brother Matt seek to prove foul play to avoid paying out Grace’s policy, flashbacks reveal the deeply personal reasons each sister had for wanting John Paul dead. However, the true identity of his killer remained unknown until the season one finale.
Season two picks up two years after the sisters appear to have moved on from the incident. Yet, when past secrets resurface, the Garveys find themselves back under scrutiny. With suspicions running high, old lies unravel, new secrets emerge, and the sisters must decide whom they can truly trust.
While specific plot details for the new season are still under wraps, fans can expect more of the thrilling twists and dark humor that defined the first season as the Garvey sisters navigate the aftermath of their actions while juggling the complexities of life, relationships, and their shared bond.
