Sisters (stylized SisterS) is an Irish-Canadian comedy drama television series created by and starring Sarah Goldberg and Susan Stanley. It premiered on RTÃÂ One on 30 March 2023.
The show was greenlit on 10 June 2022 by RTÃÂ in Ireland, Crave in Canada, and IFC in the United States, with international distribution handled by Fremantle, following a six-year gestation period.
The series had its Canadian premiere on Crave on 17 May 2023. The second season of Sisters premiered in Ireland on January 29 2026.
SisterS follows two women, one from Canada and the other from Ireland, who discover they are half-sisters. They embark on a road trip to find their alcoholic father.
Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "There are several points at which you can imagine SisterS wanting to say something about actual modern life in Ireland, but only landing at a halfway point between âÂÂoldâ and âÂÂnewâ and therefore not saying anything at all â like how the series treats a funny and slightly disturbing subplot involving abortion. The show knows that there's a cultural conversation to be had, but not how it wants to participate...Might there be a version of SisterS in which more of the stereotypes were turned on their heads, that found an angle on contemporary religion in Ireland that could have given nuance to the abortion subplot and would have made Sheryl's innocuous antisemitism have substance? Probably, and it might have been better. But the show that's here isn't bad, in large part because longtime friends and collaborators Goldberg and Stanley build the relationship between these strangers in a way that is likably warm and yet uneasy, without going quite as dark as the show's clear inspirations â Fleabag and, especially, Catastrophe are central to the DNA â might have gone. SisterS has undercurrents exploring alcoholism, abuse and the impact of absentee parents, but it's more likely to settle for broad humor over meaning in its murkier terrain."
