Sharon Horgan can’t seem to stop creating television shows. From Pulling to Catastrophe to Divorce to Motherland to Shining Vale to her latest, the Apple TV+ comedy thriller Bad Sisters, she is one of the most prolific showrunners in the game.
In this week’s episode of The Last Laugh podcast, Horgan talks about venturing outside of her comfort zone for her new show and creating her first true villain after years of writing flawed but ultimately sympathetic characters. She also reflects on how she met her Catastrophe co-creator and co-star Rob Delaney on Twitter, remembers her final dinner with the late Carrie Fisher (who just happened to bring along Salman Rushdie), and looks ahead to the even more personal show she’s hoping to create next.
Horgan and I are talking on the day that Bad Sisters drops on Apple TV+. When I ask her how the big London premiere was the night before, she smiles and sheepishly admits it went “really well.”
