Accomplished Irish actor Fiona Shaw joined the cast of Bad Sisters in an “inside look” at season two video Apple TV+ released Monday, ahead of the new season’s Wednesday debut. And this Bad Sisters season 2 video, really just a promo, is pretty entertaining.
“Thanks very much for welcoming me into your dangerous, hostile little world,” Shaw quips to the group of woman seated around a table. And later in the chat, she says of the Garvey sisters: “When they’re all together they become a kind of phalanx of meerkats.”
That line provokes gales of laughter from the “Garveys” in a video that is, essentially, a season one recap, a look ahead to the imminent season two and, maybe above all, a celebration of women.

Shaw and the actors who play the Garvey women on Bad Sisters have a lot of laughs in the video. They essentially sit around explaining the show to each other (as if they don’t know), but what the hell, it’s a promo, and it’s funny and charming. And they appear to be really laughing and totally genuine as they extoll the virtues of women in general.
In the new season, Shaw joins as Angelica, sister of Roger, the kindly fellow who helps the Garveys in their season-one hijinx but suffers a lot of guilt because of it. Angelica, hellbent on getting closer to sister Grace, is nosy. And she smells a lot of guilt. So, as she noses closer to the truth, she becomes a major liability to the sisters, it appears. Watch the season two trailer.
Here’s the streamer’s description of the show, if you haven’t seen it (but you really should watch it):
A delicious blend of both dark comedy and thriller, Bad Sisters follows the lives of the Garvey sisters, who are bound together by the premature death of their parents and a promise to always protect one another. The series stars Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe), alongside Anne-Marie Duff (Suffragette, The Salisbury Poisonings), Eva Birthistle (Brooklyn, The Last Kingdom), Sarah Greene (Frank of Ireland, Dublin Murders) and Eve Hewson (Behind her Eyes, The Luminaries) as the Garvey sisters.
