A child disappears from a playdate and it's All Her Fault
Sarah Snook stars as a mother caught in a nightmare after her son mysteriously vanishes in the Peacock psychological thriller All Her Fault, an adaptation of Andrea Mara's novel.
Plot Overview
Snook plays Marissa Irvine, a wealthy mother who sets out to pick up her five-year-old son Milo from a playdate arranged with another classmate’s mother, Jenny. But when Marissa arrives at the given address, a stranger named Esther opens the door and insists she knows nothing about any playdate or boy named Milo.
From that chilling moment, Marissa’s world unravels. The situation escalates rapidly as it becomes clear something far darker is at play. Even the electronic tracker hidden in Milo’s backpack has been disabled, leaving no trace of him.
Sarah Snook’s Performance
Snook's performance anchors the series with emotional depth and intensity. Known for her lauded portrayal of Shiv Roy in Succession, she earned both an Emmy Award and a Tony Award for her versatility — the latter for performing 26 distinct characters in The Picture of Dorian Gray.
"Sarah Snook has provided plenty of proof about how good an actress she is, and attention has been paid."
In All Her Fault, she takes on a single demanding role, and from the opening scene, the tension grips the audience immediately.
Adaptation and Tone
The miniseries channels the essence of Mara’s novel — a blend of mystery, paranoia, and raw maternal fear — offering a modern and unnerving reflection on safety and trust in everyday life.
Author’s summary: A tense psychological drama where Sarah Snook delivers a standout performance as a mother’s quiet life turns into a desperate search for her missing child.
