TV viewers are binge-watching Sky's gripping new eight-part mystery thriller All Her Fault. Based on the bestselling 2021 novel by Andrea Mara, the series follows Marissa Irvine, whose life is upended when her young son goes missing. The show is executive produced by Succession star Sarah Snook, who also takes on the lead role opposite Jake Lacy and Dakota Fanning. Hitting screens on 7 November, fans have already hailed it a must-watch after bingeing all eight episodes.
Those who tuned into the new thriller were quick to air their thoughts on social media. One person wrote on X: 'All Her Fault is one of the best things I've watched this year – if not the best.' Another said: 'This series had me HOOKED. This is what TV is supposed to feel like. The twists and turns truly don't stop.' A third viewer added: 'Just finished watching All Her Fault. Oh, Sarah Snook, the actress you are – this show was incredible.'
The show has proved a hit with critics too, sitting comfortably with a 79% score on Rotten Tomatoes. In its five-star review, The Guardian wrote: 'All Her Fault is fantastically well done. All the carefully planted seeds come to fruition.' Vulture deemed it 'compulsively watchable', while The Times called it 'highly entertaining, really quite exciting, a tad escapist and superbly acted.'
The plot explores every parent's worst nightmare: Marissa arrives to collect her son Milo from a playdate, only to find an unknown woman at the door who claims never to have heard of him. As news of the disappearance ripples through the affluent community, rumours and gossip about the women involved start to grow. The synopsis teases: 'Only one of them could have taken Milo – but might they all be at fault?'
The cast includes Sarah Snook as Marissa Irvine, Jake Lacy as Peter Irvine, Dakota Fanning as Jenny Kaminski, Michael Peña as Detective Alcaras, Sophia Lillis as Carrie Finch, and Abby Elliott as Lia Irvine. All eight episodes of All Her Fault are available to watch on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK, and on Peacock in the US.
