I hope people feel the fun in it when they’re reading it but I also hope they feel that we’ve addressed the story at the heart of it, which is that one of these sisters is in a very abusive relationship, a relationship that has coercive control at its heart, that has financial abuse and emotional abuse, and isolation. I was thrilled at the prospect of exploring all that through genre and in this case, a thriller. I was inspired to write it because I love writing about family and I love writing about relationships. It was the relationship between the five sisters and the premise: one of the sisters is married to a prick and the four sisters decide to kill him but they’re not very good at murder so they try and fail many times…a lot more times than in the original. What inspired me to write Bad Sisters was the original show which was a Belgian series called Clan. Here is “The Prick” script with an introduction from Horgan, in which she discusses exploring family connection through the lens of a thriller and an abusive relationship through the eyes of love, adjusting the script on the fly, and realizing that unexpected obstacles can often lead to unexpectedly great outcomes. Meanwhile, a flashback sets up the did-they-didn’t-they question when four of the sisters are seen jokingly suggesting ways to kill their brother-in-law when he prevents Grace from attending the Garvey family’s annual Christmas morning swim. Written by Horgan, along with Brett Baer and Dave Finkel, and directed by Dearbhla Walsh, the opening episode, titled “The Prick,” sets the tone for the series, which rides the line between humor, drama and mystery as the sisters attend their brother-in-law’s funeral with mixed emotions. Naturally, they suspect the sisters, each of whom have their own reasons to want him dead. When the abusive husband of one of the Garvey sisters, Grace, dies, it is presumed a suicide until his life insurers launch an investigation to prove ill intent. Inspired by the Belgian series The Clan, the story begins with a funeral. Tom Holland Says He's Taking A Year Off Acting After 'The Crowded Room' As "A Result Of How Difficult This Show Was"
