The Good Daughter TV Series Keeps the Novel’s Family Story at Its Core

Peacock’s The Good Daughter stars Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy as sisters in a suspense thriller.

The series is based on Karin Slaughter’s novel, and Slaughter wrote all six episodes.

She says changes were needed to adapt the book, but the family relationships remain at the story’s heart.

The sisters, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn, are still dealing with a night of violence from 20 years earlier when another attack shakes their town of Pikeville.

Director Steph Green says the story shows how people can be hurt and also cause pain, rather than reducing characters to simple heroes or villains.

All six episodes are due on Peacock November 12.
