A Child Disappears from a Playdate in 'All Her Fault'
Sarah Snook portrays a mother frantically searching for her missing five-year-old son in the tense Peacock miniseries All Her Fault, adapted from Andrea Mara’s psychological thriller.
Renowned for her award-winning performances, Snook has earned both an Emmy for her portrayal of Shiv Roy in Succession and a Tony for embodying 26 characters in her one-woman Broadway version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. This new series offers her another demanding role — but one that grips viewers from the very first scene.
The Mysterious Disappearance
Snook’s character, Marissa Irvine, is introduced as a well-to-do mother whose routine day takes a dark turn. She drives to pick up her son Milo from what was supposed to be a simple after-school playdate with another parent, Jenny.
When Marissa arrives at the address Jenny texted, she finds a stranger named Esther living there. Esther has no knowledge of any Jenny — or of Milo. From that moment, the situation spirals into panic.
“Milo has an electronic tracker in his backpack, but it's been disabled.”
After Esther contacts the real Jenny, played by Dakota Fanning, the story deepens in dread. Within moments, Marissa’s normal afternoon transforms into a nightmare of confusion and fear.
