Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy lead new Series The Good Daughter
Sky have announced Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy are set to lead the cast in psychological thriller series The Good Daughter.
The suspenseful thriller wrapped in a deeply emotional story about love, family, and resilience. Sisters Charlotte (Meghann Fahy) and Samantha (Rose Byrne) Quinn have spent the last twenty years trying to piece together the lives that were fractured by a single night of violence. When another attack splinters the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte, now a lawyer like her father, is the first witness on the scene.
As the case unfolds and twists through painful memories and buried secrets, what emerges is not just a story of survival, but of enduring ties between a father and his daughters – and the complex bond between sisters.
Katie Keenan, Group Director of Acquisitions for Sky said “We are delighted to have come on board the emotionally charged The Good Daughter at an early stage, working with our colleagues at Peacock and partners FIFTH SEASON. This is another outstanding American drama we are bringing to the UK, and our Sky and NOW audiences will love this series”.
Based on Karin Slaughter’s best-selling novel of the same name, The Good Daughter also stars Brendan Gleeson, Harper Steele, Olivia Williams, Drew Ann Cheek, Audrey Grace Marshall, Michael Dorman.
The series is written and executive produced by Karin Slaughter (Pieces of Her, Will Trent) alongside Executive Producers Bruna Papandrea, Steve Hutensky and Casey Haver for Made Up Stories (The Undoing, Pieces of Her, Wolf Like Me), and Rose Byrne. Directed and executive produced by Steph Green (Watchmen, The Americans). Acquired for Sky by Katie Keenan and Lucy Criddle.
With HBO Max about to launch on it’s own in the UK and Ireland in 2026, Sky need to think quick on their feet to deliver original content. Some series from HBO may continue on the channel for a little while longer, some of those gaps may come from the Warner Bros Discovery deal made end of 2024.
