Within the wake of her brilliant four-season run on the HBO hit “Succession,” Sarah Snook has done it again … and by “accomplished it once more,” I imply she’s established herself as a significant draw on the small display.
Snook’s comparatively latest Peacock unique sequence “All Her Fault,” based on an unique report from Variety, racked up a frankly unbelievable 46 million hours of viewing time in simply three weeks — the miniseries launched on Peacock in its entirety on November 6, 2025 — and, in doing so, the outlet studies that “All Her Fault” is now “the most-watched unique sequence launch within the streamer’s historical past.” Not solely that, however Selection has additionally revealed that “All Her Fault” topped charts for streaming exhibits basically throughout the identical three week interval (the place it scored slightly below 50 million hours of watch time).
“All Her Fault” stars Snook alongside a genuinely wonderful forged that features Jake Lacy, Dakota Fanning, Michael Peña, Jay Ellis, Abby Elliott, and Sophia Lillis, and is, based on the review on our fellow Static web site Looper (hmm, there’s one thing acquainted about that creator …), a paint-by-numbers psychological thriller that also manages to transcend the style with sharp writing, an unforgettable twist, and extremely layered performances (significantly from Snook and Fanning). If you have not watched “All Her Fault” but, you are apparently within the minority, however in any case, this is the gist: Snook performs a mom greatly surprised when she realizes that not solely is her younger son not the place he is presupposed to be, however he is truly nowhere to be discovered in any respect.
What’s All Her Fault about, and is it primarily based on a real story?
Extra particularly, once we first meet Sarah Snook’s wealth supervisor Marissa Irvine in “All Her Fault,” she’s heading to choose up her son Milo (Duke McCloud), who’s solely 5 years outdated, from a playdate that is presupposed to be with the younger son of Marissa’s fellow working mother Jenny Kaminski (Dakota Fanning). When she will get to the handle offered by Jenny, although, Marissa finds an older girl who’s by no means heard of both mother, and Milo is nowhere to be discovered; when Marissa will get involved with Jenny, she then discovers that the latter by no means offered the handle and even texted Marissa a few playdate within the first place. The whole factor is a set-up of some form, and Milo is said lacking instantly — with Detective Jim Alcaras (Michael Peña) main the investigation. Because of Marissa’s overwhelming monetary success, she and her household assume that the abductors merely need a ransom, however there appears to be one thing way more sinister at play, particularly surrounding a mysterious girl going by the title of Carrie Finch (Sophia Lillis).
I will not spoil the completely twisted ending of “All Her Fault” right here, however as you watch, you may find yourself suspecting all people and anyone, from Marissa’s troubled sister-in-law Lia Irvine (Abby Elliott) to Lia’s secret lover and Marissa’s enterprise accomplice Colin Dobbs (Jay Ellis) to Marissa’s personal husband Peter Irvine (Jake Lacy). Clearly, the eight episodes of “All Her Fault” resonated fairly effectively with audiences, and although the entire forged and showrunner Megan Gallagher deserve loads of credit score, that is doubtless largely because of Snook’s mere presence, because the actor has racked up unbelievable good will over the previous couple of years.
Between Succession and All Her Fault, Sarah Snook has established herself as one among her era’s finest performers
I am prepared to wager that lots of people who watched “All Her Fault,” which I did, tuned in particularly as a result of, like me, they missed seeing Sarah Snook on their smaller screens. Snook, as you in all probability know, originated the role of the spiky Siobhan “Shiv” Roy in Jesse Armstrong’s masterpiece sequence “Succession,” which ran from 2018 to 2023 and spanned 4 seasons. As the one daughter and youngest baby of highly effective however aged media mogul Logan Roy (an imperious Brian Cox), Shiv is constantly duking it out with her buffoonish brothers Kendall and Roman (Jeremy Robust and Kieran Culkin) for potential management of the household enterprise, conglomerate Waystar Royco. She’s additionally embroiled in an engagement and subsequent marriage to the boot-licking Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen), and to say Shiv treats that man poorly is … a large understatement.
That is to say that Snook, who gained two Golden Globes and one Emmy for her efficiency as Shiv on “Succession,” has shortly risen to develop into one of many leisure trade’s most lauded performers. Not solely did she decide up a Tony Award in 2025 for her completely daring and bodily audacious one-woman tackle “The Image of Dorian Gray” on Broadway (which additionally netted her an Olivier Award when the present ran in London’s West Finish), however when the Golden Globe nominations dropped on December 8, she earned one other Golden Globe nod for “All Her Fault.” (It is comparatively protected to imagine, I feel, that one other Emmy nod will observe.) Snook is a formidable performer who’s established herself as a dramatic powerhouse, and “All Her Fault” continues to show that she’s an distinctive expertise.
“All Her Fault” is streaming on Peacock now.
