Speaking about renewing the show, Sharon said: "If you’d have told me three years ago that I’d be making a series about five murderous sisters chasing a man around Ireland trying to kill him I’d have said; yeah, that sounds about right. The response to our show had been beyond what we could have hoped for. It gave us the opportunity to shine a light on stories that don’t always get such a global platform. I look forward to getting chilly in the Irish Sea one more time."

The ensemble cast also includes Dracula's Claes Bang, Frank of Ireland's Brian Gleeson and Peaky Blinders star Daryl McCormack.
The synopsis reads: "The tight-knit Garvey sisters have always looked out for each other. When their brother-in-law winds up dead, his life insurers launch an investigation to prove malicious intent - and set their sights on the sisters, all of whom had ample reason to kill him."

Speaking about the inspiration behind the series, which is adapted from the Belgian series Clan, Sharon told HELLO!: "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. It's completely different but it was a really inspiring jumping-off point."
The show is set to join other Apple TV+ shows that have been renewed, including Trying, Physical, Loot, Slow Horses, Pachinko, Schmigadoon! and Swagger.
