The 'Bad Sisters' Season 2 Trailer Puts the Garveys Under Pressure

Most PBS viewers know sister companies Walter Presents and Eagle Eye Drama from popular series like Professor T and Hotel Portofino. Eagle Eye and Walter Presents executive producer Jo McGrath told Telly Visions the company started re-adapting the shows from Walter Presents because she and co-producers Walter Iuzzolino and Jason Thorpe saw high-powered executives combing through them. "We started getting calls from very high-up—I won't name and shame—very high-up broadcast executives and people running movie companies asking for our Walter Presents slate. They wanted to know what shows we were buying because the shows became hits they saw as ripe for adaptation."

McGrath might not name and shame, but it's pretty evident that at least one of the adaptations she meant was Apple TV+'s Bad Sisters, one of the few English language remakes of a Walter Presents series currently in production that Eagle Eye doesn't produce. Based on the Belgian series Clan, which never even came to PBS Passport before Apple remade it, it was retitled The Outlaws for Walter Presents when it streamed on Channel 4.

Bad Sisters is also perhaps the only Walter Presents title that's a hit with viewers outside of PBS Passport, which is no mean feat considering PBS Passport has more members collectively via local stations than AppleTV+ has paying subscribers. However, once fans who haven't watched the show yet get wind of this Season 2 trailer, the series might wind up one of Apple TV's biggest shows to date.
