Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy lead new US event series The Good Daughter, coming to Sky and NOW in 2026

The Good Daughter is a suspenseful thriller wrapped in a deeply emotional story about love, family, and resilience. Sisters Charlotte (Meghann Fahy) and Samantha (Rose Byrne) Quinn have spent the last twenty years trying to piece together the lives that were fractured by a single night of violence. When another attack splinters the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte, now a lawyer like her father, is the first witness on the scene.

As the case unfolds and twists through painful memories and buried secrets, what emerges is not just a story of survival, but of enduring ties between a father and his daughters – and the complex bond between sisters. 

Katie Keenan, Group Director of Acquisitions for Sky said “We are delighted to have come on board the emotionally charged The Good Daughter at an early stage, working with our colleagues at Peacock and partners FIFTH SEASON. This is another outstanding American drama we are bringing to the UK, and our Sky and NOW audiences will love this series”.
