Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy are set to lead Peacock's upcoming adaptation of Karin Slaughter's thriller novel, 'The Good Daughter.' The limited series will also feature Brendan Gleeson and is being directed by Steph Green. filming is scheduled to commence in May.
Last month, it was announced that Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy would star in Peacock 's upcoming adaptation of Karin Slaughter's thriller, The Good Daughter . The limited series will also feature Brendan Gleeson . Producers on the project include Bruna Papandrea, Steve Hutensky, and Casey Haver. The twisty thriller, based on Slaughter's 2017 novel, will follow sisters Charlotte (Fahy) and Samantha (Byrne) as they attempt to rebuild their lives after a violent incident nearly 30 years ago.
With time passing, Charlotte has become a lawyer and is forced to confront her past demons when another attack occurs, according to the show's logline. Collider's Steve Weintraub spoke with Byrne about the upcoming project during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Byrne was promoting her drama, If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You. Regarding The Good Daughter, Byrne shared that filming is scheduled for May and June. 'So we're starting casting and the rest of that, and we start up in May. So that's what I've got coming up so far,' she said. According to Byrne, renowned author Karin Slaughter is actively involved in the writing process for The Good Daughter. Slaughter, who published the novel in 2017, is also the creator of the Will Trent book series adapted into an ABC series starring Ramón Rodríguez. Notably, this marks Slaughter's first foray into writing for a television series, having previously not written for Will Trent or the 2022 adaptation of her 2018 novel, Pieces of Her. Slaughter has authored over two dozen novels. Byrne told Collider, 'She's an incredible writer, a New York Times bestseller and she's also written all of the episodes of the show.' It was reported last March that Jessica Biel was initially attached to star in the thriller series, in the role now played by Meghann Fahy, but she departed the project by the end of last year. Directing the project is Steph Green, known for her work across various genres. Green has directed episodes of popular shows like Scandal, Watchmen, and Luke Cage, among others. Her experience extends to the Star Wars universe, as she directed episodes of The Book of Boba Fett in 2022 and episodes of the Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka in 2023. The Good Daughter is slated to begin filming in May. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on Byrne's upcoming projects and news from the Sundance Film Festival.
