It is based of of the British series '''Clan''' by Malin-Sarah Gozin.

The show centers around the Garvey sisters, Eva (Horgan), Grace (Duff), Ursula (Birthistle), Bibi (Greene), and Becka (Hewson), after the death of Grace’s horrifically incredibly horrible husband John Paul (Bang). Investigating the death are Claffin brothers Thomas (Gleeson) and Matthew (McCormack) insures who are going to unusual lengths in order to not pay out John Paul’s life insurance policy due to desperate situations in their own lives. The thing is, they might actually have a case as four of the sisters had been planning to kill the bastard. The story bounces back and forth from present day to flashbacks leading to John Paul’s Demise.
The series debut on Apple+ in September of 2022.
