‘Bad Sisters’ Creator Sharon Horgan Plans To Bring Julia May Jonas’ ‘Vladimir’ Adaptation To Screen
Though the story of the Bad Sisters on Apple TV+ may be over following the Season 2 finale on Christmas Day, creator Sharon Horgan is already working on another project.
During an interview for Bustle’s “One Nightstand,” Horgan revealed her hopes to bring an adaptation of Vladimir by Julia May Jonas to the screen. Jonas sought out Horgan.
“I was making Bad Sisters and had no headspace whatsoever, and Julia hadn’t written a screenplay before… so it was sent to me as a sort of, ‘Is this something we could do together?’” Horgan told Bustle. “And I was like, ‘No, no, no, I just don’t have time.’ Then they said, ‘Just read the first chapter.’ So I read the first chapter and then I just made time.”
The book tells the story of a college professor who cultivates an obsession with a new faculty member on campus after her husband becomes embroiled in a sexual misconduct controversy.
Horgan might consider a “little cameo” appearance, but she is also happy to remain behind the camera for this project.

If you’re a single parent, you end up sort of always geographically choosing things that are closer to home,” she said. “It doesn’t always work out that way, but you really, really try. Also, I love making things that I’m not in and casting people.”
She also named Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died and Irvin D. Yalom’s Love’s Executioner as favorite books of hers.
