She’s given us Coupling, Catastrophe and Motherland - now Sharon Horgan is about to show us her serious side in new BBC show Best Interests.The brand-new thought-provoking drama written by BAFTA winning writer, Jack Thorne sees Sharon draw on her own traumatic real life experiences. Four-parter Best Interests, follows an ordinary family driven apart by having to make choices no parent would ever want to make. Sharon Horgan and Michael Sheen star as Nicci and Andrew who have two daughters Katie and Marnie.
Marnie has a life-threatening condition which takes a devastating turn.The doctors believe it is in her best interests to be allowed to die, but her loving family disagree. And so begins a fight that will take them through every stage of a legal process, as they struggle to contemplate this huge decision. “I felt really connected to Nicci,” explains Sharon.
“My daughter was very ill when she was about 16 months old, and we were in a position where we didn’t know if she would live or die. She’s 19 now, and ever since she came along I’ve been an emotional wreck. “I specifically remember the feeling of ‘whatever you have to do, I don’t care, just keep her alive’.That feeling is in my bones and my DNA, that’s why I had this connection with Nicci.” While the show poses tough questions with very emotional content, Sharon says both cast and crew had a lot of fun on set.
“The weird thing is I laughed more doing this show than I have on a lot of things,” she says. “We constantly laughed, the material was so tough and what was happening was so tough, we went through the ringer on it. But we just laughed constantly.

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International The next season of “Bad Sisters” is slowly taking shape, even amid a writers strike. Creator Sharon Horgan confirmed that she’s currently writing Season 2 of the hit Apple TV+ series “Bad Sisters,” which will continue the story of the Garvey sisters after they successfully got rid of their toxic brother-in-law Jean-Paul (played by a deliciously evil Claes Bang). Horgan, who was speaking at the Banff World Media Festival, is likely able to continue working on the U.K.-filmed show — which she writes alongside Brett Baer and Dave Finkel — because she has a local contract in place with Apple TV+ for “Bad Sisters” rather than a WGA-governed deal. Under the current rules, U.K. writers can continue working on existing projects (under the jurisdiction of non-WGA contracts) with “struck” companies such as Apple, but can’t take on new work.
