A Child Disappears from a Playdate: 'All Her Fault'

Sarah Snook stars as a mother frantically searching for her missing 5-year-old son in the gripping Peacock miniseries All Her Fault, based on Andrea Mara’s psychological thriller novel.

Powerful Lead Performance

Snook, celebrated for her acclaimed performances, brings emotional depth and tension to the new series. She previously earned an Emmy for her portrayal of Shiv Roy in Succession and a Tony Award for her one-woman Broadway show The Picture of Dorian Gray, where she played 26 distinct characters.

Plot Overview

In this series, Snook plays Marissa Irvine, a well-off mother whose ordinary day spirals into terror. The show opens with her heading to collect her son, Milo, after a playdate at the home of Jenny, a fellow parent. But when Marissa reaches the address Jenny sent, an unfamiliar woman answers the door.

“Her name is Esther, and she knows nothing about a playdate — or about Marissa’s son, Milo.”

The tension escalates rapidly from that moment. Milo’s backpack tracker has been deactivated, leaving Marissa desperate for answers. When Esther dials Jenny’s phone number, the call reveals an even grimmer reality. Within minutes, Marissa’s calm turns into panic as the situation takes a chilling turn.

Series Tone and Appeal

All Her Fault promises a tightly wound psychological drama where maternal instincts, fear, and uncertainty collide. The series draws viewers into a story of confusion, deceit, and a mother’s unyielding determination to find her lost child.

Author’s summary: A taut psychological thriller where confusion and dread mount as a mother’s world unravels after her child vanishes from a playdate.
