Peacock has released the official trailer for The Good Daughter, a six-episode limited thriller starring Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy as sisters Samantha and Charlotte Quinn. All six episodes premiere on Peacock on November 12, 2026.
Why it matters
The series adapts Karin Slaughter's bestselling novel, bringing the author's crime storytelling to a streaming audience in the United States. Its premiere date is also set for Sky and NOW in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The limited series runs six episodes, all written by Karin Slaughter and directed by Steph Green, and all releasing together on November 12, 2026. Commercial performance figures such as viewership or subscriber gains have not yet been reported.
The players
Karin Slaughter
Bestselling crime novelist whose book The Good Daughter is the basis for the series, and who wrote all six episodes and serves as showrunner and executive producer.
Rose Byrne
Australian actress who stars as Samantha Quinn and also serves as an executive producer on the series.
Meghann Fahy
American actress who stars as Charlotte Quinn in the limited thriller.
The details

Timeline
20 years before the present-day events, a violent event fractured the Quinn family.
November 12, 2026: all six episodes premiere on Peacock, Sky, and NOW.
Industry Dynamics
The project follows a streaming-era pattern of limited thrillers adapted from bestselling crime fiction, with the novelist taking an active production role. Its simultaneous launch across Peacock, Sky, and NOW reflects how platforms increasingly stagger or split international distribution of the same series.
Viewers in the United States can stream all six episodes on Peacock starting November 12, 2026. Subscribers in the United Kingdom and Ireland can watch the same episodes on Sky and NOW on the same date.
The takeaway
For a six-episode thriller, the premiere date is the key planning detail: all episodes arrive at once, so viewers can plan a single binge-watch rather than waiting weekly. Checking the platform's schedule in advance helps avoid missing the November 12 release.
