"Well, I come from a big family - not all sisters - but there's three sisters and two brothers and it's such a great original series," she explained. "It's completely different but it was a really inspiring jumping-off point."

Described as a "delicious blend of both dark comedy and thriller," the ten-part drama follows Eva, Grace, Ursula, Bibi and Becka, who band together after the premature death of their parents and promise to always protect one another.
