The Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters has garnered significant attention from audiences, with season 2 of the show premiering on November 13, 2024. Notably, the series is based on the Flemish dark comedy Clan, which aired from September 3, 2012, to November 5, 2012. Created by Malin-Sarah Gozin, it was written by Gozin and Bert Van Dael, with direction by Kaat Beels and Nathalie Basteyns.
Similar to Bad Sisters, Clan's premise also chronicled the lives of five sisters shaken by an unprecedented occurrence. This event is the death of the husband of one of the sisters, a man whom the other sisters had consistently shown their dislike for. The situation escalates further when an insurance agent becomes determined to prove that the sisters were involved in the man's death.
Points of difference between Bad Sisters and Clan
Trending
While the core narrative of both Bad Sisters and Clan are the same, there are minute ways in which the two shows differ. One of them is related to the names of the characters in both shows. While some names have remained the same across both shows, some have been altered to more effect.
In Clan, the five sisters are Eva, Veerle, Bibi, Bekka, and Goele Goethals. In Bad Sisters, however, the sisters are Eva, Grace, Ursula, Bibi, and Becka Garvey.
Additionally, the name of the sister's husband, who is married in both shows, is also different. While in Clan, the husband is named Jean-Claude (often referred to as De Kloot), in the English counterpart, he is called John Paul (often called JP).
Another point of difference between the two shows is more structural. While Clan was ten episodes long across one season, Bad Sisters is currently in its second season and has already surpassed the ten episodes threshold for the show it is based on.
