Stephen King Praises Apple TV's 2022 Thriller Series For Its “Vile” Villain

Summary Stephen King praises Claes Bang for his portrayal of the abusive husband in the Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters.

Bang portrayed JP Williams, the husband of Grace Williams (Anne-Marie Duff).

Legendary author Stephen King went on social media to praise a star of Apple TV+'s Bad Sisters show for playing the most "vile and horrible husband ever." The Irish black-comedy thriller series was developed by Sharon Horgan and focuses on five sisters in Dublin. Four plan to murder the fifth's abusive and controlling husband, who is later found dead, prompting a life insurance investigation. It stars Horgan, Anne-Marie Duff, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene, and Dracula star Claes Bang as abusive husband JP Williams. Bad Sisters season 2 has been renewed by Apple TV+, with the cast performances garnering praise, especially Bang's performance.

It's currently unclear how much of season 2 has been developed, as updates have been scanty, but hopefully, the cast and crew will provide more teases about the upcoming episodes.

Following the explosive twists and reveals that answer the mystery of who killed JP in Bad Sisters season 1, the future looks bright for the show. However, it will be interesting to see the direction that season 2 might take, with the major plot strands tied up in season 1. According to Horgan, season 2 will not seek to retread old ground and will instead deal with the fallout of the sisters' actions in season 1 and the consequences of the murder.

The renewal clearly shows Apple TV+'s faith in the show. In particular, season 1 scooped two BAFTA Awards, four IFTA Awards, and three Primetime Emmy nominations, which means the critical acclaim should present opportunities for greater scope and experimentation in future seasons. As long as the scripts can be finalized, and the cast scheduling is sorted out, there is no reason season 2 cannot match the success of the first.

On the other hand, it seems unlikely that Bang will return for season 2 due to his character's fate being sealed and dealt with in season 1. However, the show's narrative structure, which involves different timelines, means that there is a possibility his character could return to Bad Sisters in some capacity in the future. It's currently unclear how much of season 2 has been developed, as updates have been scanty, but hopefully, the cast and crew will provide more teases about the upcoming episodes.
