Award-winning actress Sarah Snook stars in the new Peacock series All Her Fault, which officially launched on November 6, 2025. The eight-episode thriller — adapted from Andrea Mara’s bestselling novel — has quickly ignited global conversation across streaming platforms.
The show follows the terrifying disappearance of a child, unraveling secrets that expose the darkness behind suburban perfection. Released in full on Peacock, the series has become an immediate binge-watching phenomenon, with fans praising Snook’s powerful performance and the series’ high-tension storytelling.
Plot and Performances
The story opens with Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook) arriving at a house for a routine playdate pickup — only to find that the woman who answers the door has never heard of her son, Milo.
That single moment triggers a frantic search, unraveling a web of deception, guilt, and hidden truths that extend deep into the community.
According to Variety, the adaptation is a “masterclass in suspense,” blending emotional depth with cinematic pacing. Snook’s portrayal of a mother pushed to her psychological limits anchors the series, while Dakota Fanning, who plays a key supporting role, adds emotional contrast and complexity.
All eight episodes of All Her Fault are now available to stream exclusively on Peacock, offering viewers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the mystery without waiting week-to-week.
Critical and Audience Response
Early reactions from critics have been overwhelmingly positive. Reviewers have praised Sarah Snook’s gripping lead performance, with some calling it her strongest work since Succession.
Variety’s early review stated, “Snook commands the screen with precision, bringing raw emotion and quiet devastation to every scene.”
On social media, viewers have echoed similar sentiments. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) called the series “a binge-worthy gem” and “the best thriller Peacock has ever released.”
The all-at-once release strategy also fueled a social media frenzy, with real-time theory discussions and fan debates over the show’s central mystery trending across entertainment circles.
Peacock’s Release Strategy and Market Position
Peacock’s decision to drop all eight episodes simultaneously marks a strategic shift from the platform’s previous weekly-release model.
The approach aligns with modern viewer behavior, prioritizing engagement and sustained streaming hours through binge consumption. Industry analysts note that this release model helps generate immediate word-of-mouth impact, sustaining momentum during competitive Q4 streaming seasons.
Peacock executives reportedly viewed All Her Fault as a confidence play, banking on the novel’s strong narrative and Sarah Snook’s star power to drive long-form engagement. Early analytics suggest the gamble is paying off, with All Her Fault entering the platform’s Top 3 most-streamed premieres of 2025 within 72 hours.
What’s Next: Global Rollout and Viewer Access
Following its U.S. debut, Peacock will extend All Her Fault’s release to international markets through partner platforms, including SkyShowtime in Europe and Stan in Australia.
Discussions around awards positioning are also underway, with Snook expected to be a leading contender in the 2026 Emmys limited-series category.
For global viewers outside the U.S., the series will be available via regional streaming partners later this month.
