Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy lead new US event series The Good Daughter, coming to Sky and NOW in 2026

The Good Daughter is a 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 stars Rose Byrne, Meghann Fahy, Brendan Gleeson, Harper Steele, Olivia Williams, Drew Ann Cheek, Audrey Grace Marshall, Michael Dorman. The series is produced by Made Up Stories in partnership with global film and TV studio FIFTH SEASON, which is also handling global distribution.

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.
