Peacock to Premiere The Good Daughter Series
Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy star in the six-episode limited series adapted from Karin Slaughter's 2017 novel.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Television
Peacock will release all six one-hour episodes of The Good Daughter at once on November 12, 2026. The limited series follows estranged sisters Samantha and Charlotte Quinn, played by Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy.
Why it matters
The series brings Karin Slaughter's bestselling crime fiction to television with her own involvement as writer and showrunner. Its full-season release format lets viewers watch the entire story at once rather than week to week.
The limited series runs six one-hour episodes, all released at once on Peacock. Karin Slaughter's novels have sold roughly 40 million copies worldwide across 25 titles, though viewership figures for the series have not yet been reported.
The players
Karin Slaughter
Bestselling crime novelist whose books have sold about 40 million copies worldwide, who wrote every episode of the series and serves as its showrunner.

American actress who stars as Charlotte Quinn in the limited series.
Peacock
NBCUniversal's streaming service, which is premiering the series.

Timeline
2017: Karin Slaughter publishes the novel The Good Daughter.
November 12, 2026: All six episodes premiere on Peacock.
Roadmap
Slaughter's Will Trent adaptation, now in its fourth season on ABC, has already established her novels as a source for television drama. The Good Daughter extends that pattern to a standalone limited series on a streaming platform.
All six episodes will be available on Peacock starting November 12, 2026, so viewers can watch the full season in one sitting. Access requires a Peacock subscription, and the series is rated TV-MA.
The takeaway
Viewers who enjoy Slaughter's Will Trent can expect a darker, standalone story from the same author. The simultaneous release means the full six-episode arc can be watched at once.
