Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy to Star in Peacock’s The Good Daughter, From Author Karin Slaughter
Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy will play sisters in Peacock’s forthcoming adaptation of The Good Daughter.
Based on the best-selling novel by Karin Slaughter — who also pens the Will Trent book series on which the ABC drama is based — The Good Daughter follows sisters Charlotte (played by The White Lotus’ Fahy) and Samantha Quinn (Platonic’s Byrne), who have spent the last 28 years trying to piece together the lives that were fractured by a single night of violence. (Jessica Biel was initially slated to play Charlotte, but vacated the role in September.)

“When another attack splinters the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte is the first witness on the scene,” per the official logline. “Now a lawyer like her father, she’s forced to confront her own demons as the case twists through one shocking revelation after another. In the end, both she and Samantha find themselves wondering if the price of being the good daughter was worth it, after all.”
Slaughter will pen all Good Daughter scripts, in addition to serving as an executive producer. Bruna Papandrea, Steve Hutensky and Casey Haver (The Undoing, Pieces of Her, Wolf Like Me) and director Steph Green (Watchmen, The Americans) and Byrne are also EPs.
There’s currently no timetable for the miniseries’ release — but TVLine will keep you posted once there’s a premiere date and trailer available.
