The eight-episode series premiered on November 6, 2025, and follows Sarah Snook as Marissa, a successful, self-made wealth manager whose young son, Milo, disappears while on a playdate with a classmate. Or at least that\u2019s where Marissa and her husband, Peter (Jake Lacy, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/tv\/apples-never-fall-series-preview\/\"><em>Apples Never Fall<\/em><\/a>), believed their son to be until Marissa tries to pick him up and discovers he\u2019s vanished.<\/p>\n<p>Snook, who also serves as an executive producer, recently participated in a press conference in support of the Peacock series. Discussing the challenges of taking on the role, Sarah Snook said she needed to find a way to portray the reality of the traumatic situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is high drama, but like getting into this hysterical, histrionic overreacting \u2026 like finding the kernel of truth in these things. Like, \u2018What is it like to have your child go missing? What is that like?\u2019 For this person like that, that was the hardest thing to constantly make sure that we were delving down into what is the truthful version of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Snook added, \u201cWe\u2019re during the first read through and I write on the first page: \u2018Must find different ways to cry.\u2019 Because I was crying all the time, dealing with what\u2019s happening. Finding different levels of like, \u2018Okay, this is level 10. This is a guilt cry. This is a shame cry. This is a fear cry. This is a sorrow cry.\u2019 You know, finding ways to create light and shade with a palette like that is tricky.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"All Her Fault | Official Trailer | Peacock Original\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J9y_QvRwu64?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"All Her Fault | Official Trailer | Peacock Original\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J9y_QvRwu64?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Snook describes her character, Marissa, as ambitious, smart, and someone who\u2019s made a name for herself in a male-dominated profession. She also loves being a mother. \u00a0\u201c[\u2026] She definitely wants to be a parent and wants to be a mom, wants to be present as being a mom,\u201d said Snook. \u201cI think that\u2019s something that\u2019s a part of me as well. I mean, it probably doesn\u2019t come out in this so much because of the content and the thriller aspect and what she\u2019s dealing with.\u00a0But I wanted to be able to play a character that is closer to me, in terms of warmth. [Who] is just naturally friendly and wants things to go well and has an intention to help that happen. Marissa has bad things happen to her. So, that\u2019s what makes it an interesting story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most parents can relate to momentarily losing sight of their child and the panic that ensues. Snook recalls that director Minkie Spiro shared her experience of when her daughter briefly went missing in a supermarket and the white-hot fear that followed. And as a mom herself, Snook can relate to that fear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have had it just for a moment in that way. You sort of think that she was on this side. She turns out she\u2019s on <em>this<\/em> side and gone. And you can expand that imaginatively into a world [where] it\u2019s a couple of days. It\u2019s a couple of nights. The worst can happen,\u201d said Snook. \u201cAnd watching the interviews of the parents who were pleading for the public to have any information. It\u2019s just so raw. And so, it\u2019s the worst thing that could ever happen, to have no knowledge of where the child is. So imaginatively, you go to the worst place, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_309617\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-309617\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-309617\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"All Her Fault Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning.jpg 1000w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-580x387.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-309617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-580x387.jpg\" alt=\"All Her Fault Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.showbizjunkies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/all-her-fault-sarah-snook-dakota-fanning.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-309617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Snook as Marissa Irvine and Dakota Fanning as Jenny Kaminski in \u2018All Her Fault\u2019 (Photo by: Sarah Enticknap\/PEACOCK)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hot off the success of <em>Succession<\/em>, Snook was ready for something different. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/all_her_fault\"><em>All Her Fault<\/em><\/a> marks her first real thriller, which was part of her attraction to the series. \u201cIt had a really great twist that I was excited to be into,\u201d explains Snook. \u201cYou engage with all the drama and all these scenes, and then also just playing a mom who is very successful and also wants to be a mom. Often, we see on screen women who are successful and then child rearing is kind of like a pain in the ass. But in this, she wants to be present for both. And how do you balance that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marissa forms a close bond with another mom, played by Dakota Fanning, and it\u2019s that female friendship that really stood out to Snook among the series\u2019 themes. \u201cThat\u2019s something that\u2019s really strong and present in my life currently and something that I really lean on: female friendship. I think it\u2019s really nice to see that on screen. We\u2019re not sort of competitive women. You have a right to sort of get into a blame game of saying, \u2018It\u2019s her fault, it\u2019s her fault,\u2019 blah, blah, blah. And yet they don\u2019t do that.
