Imagine your worst nightmare coming true: your child vanishes without a trace. That's the chilling premise of Sky's new mystery thriller, 'All Her Fault,' and the freshly released trailer has sent viewers into a frenzy of anticipation. Based on Andrea Mara's bestselling novel, this eight-part series promises a rollercoaster of suspense, tackling the raw, primal fear of child abduction.
Starring the phenomenal Sarah Snook, best known for her role in 'Succession,' 'All Her Fault' plunges us into the desperate world of Marissa Irvine, a mother whose life is shattered when she arrives to pick up her son, Milo, from a playdate. Instead of a warm reunion, she's met with a stranger who claims to have no knowledge of Milo's existence. The trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into this horrifying scenario, setting the stage for a gripping psychological drama.
But here's where it gets controversial... The very nature of abduction stories can be triggering for some viewers. Is it responsible to explore such a sensitive topic, or does it exploit a very real fear? This is a question viewers will likely grapple with as they watch.
The recently released trailer has sparked a wave of excitement online. Social media is buzzing with comments like, "Can't wait to watch this!" and "This looks brilliant!" One enthusiastic fan wrote, "Woah! I clicked on this because of Sarah Snook... So excited to see her after a long time. This looks so good, I can't wait to watch it. Congratulations to the cast and crew. This looks great and a thrilling experience!" Another viewer was immediately hooked by the soundtrack alone, proclaiming, "STOPP IT! I say yes just by the soundtrack alone."
The series also boasts impressive performances from Dakota Fanning (known for 'Ripley' and 'The Equalizer 3') and Jake Lacy ('Apples Never Fall,' 'The White Lotus'), further fueling the hype. And this is the part most people miss... the supporting cast can make or break a series like this. Their performances will be key to creating a truly believable and unsettling atmosphere.
HELLO!'s Acting TV Editor, Nicky Morris, has already added 'All Her Fault' to her watchlist, noting that the combination of Sarah Snook's talent and Andrea Mara's captivating story makes it a must-see. Morris also draws a comparison to Disney+'s 'The Stolen Girl,' suggesting that fans of suspenseful abduction narratives will find 'All Her Fault' equally compelling. But is it fair to compare the two? Each story brings its own unique perspective to this difficult subject matter.
All eight episodes of 'All Her Fault' will be available on Sky Atlantic, NOW, and Peacock starting November 7th. Will you be tuning in? Does the trailer live up to the hype?
