Sharon Horgan is, to put it simply, an absolute powerhouse. A multi-Bafta award-winner who’s created and written some of the most conversation-sparking TV shows of the last decade (think: Catastrophe, Pulling, Motherland, Divorce and This Way Up) she’s lit up our screens with humour and deeply relatable moments.

The first series of her most recent project, Apple TV+’s black comedy Bad Sisters, following the Garvey sisters and the murder of one of their awful husbands, was a smash hit, hailed for being funny, sad, thrilling and exploring the complexity of relationships and women. Now, we’re about to see the release of its second series, which is set to be just as brilliantly chaotic as the first.

Speaking on day two of Stylist Live, Horgan sat down with Stylist editor Alix Walker to discuss the new series. “With Bad Sisters, I wanted to push myself and do something different to what I’d written before and not just stay in my lane doing what I found comfortable and easy. Challenges are how you keep learning your craft.”

About her Bad Sisters co-stars, Horgan said: “They’re all in charge of their own destinies – and they’re all really nice which, as I get older, is the most important thing to me. You spend so much of your time working that you need to surround yourself with great people. I just don’t have time for assholes.”
