All Her Fault: A Chilling Missing-Child Thriller

All Her Fault, an eight-part thriller from the producers of Downton Abbey, premieres this week on Thursday, November 6. The first four episodes launch immediately, followed by weekly releases.

Plot Overview

The story begins on a seemingly ordinary suburban afternoon that quickly turns into a mother’s worst nightmare. Marissa Irvine, played by Sarah Snook (Succession), arrives at 14 Arthur Avenue to pick up her young son Milo after his first playdate. However, the woman who answers the door is a stranger, sparking confusion that escalates into panic.

As news of Milo’s disappearance spreads through the quiet neighborhood, Marissa not only searches desperately for her son but also faces rising suspicion from the community. Along the way, she encounters other mothers, including the mysterious Jenny (portrayed by Dakota Fanning), uncovering hidden secrets and the unsettling truth that anyone might be responsible.

Thematic Elements and Comparisons

All Her Fault explores how quickly whispers can turn into accusations and how the surface of suburban perfection can crumble to reveal darker realities underneath.

“Everyone has secrets — and anyone could be responsible.”

The series has naturally drawn comparisons to Big Little Lies for its depiction of suburban mother dynamics, class tensions, and the way communities often turn on women under pressure.

About the Source Material

The show is adapted from Andrea Mara’s bestselling 2021 novel of the same name.
