“I was making Bad Sisters and had no headspace whatsoever, and Julia hadn’t written a screenplay before… so it was sent to me as a sort of, ‘Is this something we could do together?’” Horgan told Bustle. “And I was like, ‘No, no, no, I just don’t have time.’ Then they said, ‘Just read the first chapter.’ So I read the first chapter and then I just made time.”
The book tells the story of a college professor who cultivates an obsession with a new faculty member on campus after her husband becomes embroiled in a sexual misconduct controversy.
Horgan might consider a “little cameo” appearance, but she is also happy to remain behind the camera for this project.
If you’re a single parent, you end up sort of always geographically choosing things that are closer to home,” she said. “It doesn’t always work out that way, but you really, really try. Also, I love making things that I’m not in and casting people.”
She also named Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died and Irvin D. Yalom’s Love’s Executioner as favorite books of hers.
Bad Sisters Season 2 began unfolding on Apple TV+ with new episodes arriving Wednesdays in the sophomore installment of the dark comedy series. In Season 1, the five Garvey sistesr — Eva (Horgan), Bibi (Sarah Greene), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Becca (Eve Hewson) and Grace (Anne-Marie Duff) work together to mask Grace’s murder of her abusive husband John Paul Williams (Claes Bang). Season 2 continues to deal with the aftermath of JP’s death as decisions he made in Season 1 come back to haunt the Garvey girls.
Season 2 of Bad Sisters has eight episodes, and the finale hits Apple TV+ Christmas Day.
