Sarah Snook, known for her role as Siobhan “Shiv” Roy in the acclaimed series Succession, is set to return to television in the new Sky thriller All Her Fault, where she stars as Marissa Irvine, a business executive facing a parental nightmare. The character’s torment begins when she discovers her son, Milo, is missing after a playdate. This psychological thriller, based on Andrea Mara’s 2022 novel, explores themes of suspicion and maternal fears, marking Snook’s re-entry into the TV scene following her success in theatre, reports BritPanorama.
Having previously earned accolades including two Golden Globes and an Emmy for her portrayal of Shiv, Snook’s transition back to the screen is highly anticipated. Her character’s predicament escalates as suspicion begins to swirl around her, drawing viewers into a tense narrative that reveals the complexities of motherhood and societal perceptions.
In addition to her own project, Snook has expressed her admiration for several recent series, including the Apple TV+ thriller Bad Sisters. “I love how there’s not one person you can definitely lean on as good. It’s a great way to tell a story,” Snook remarked about the show, which follows a group of sisters battling their controlling brother-in-law.
Snook’s recommendations also include Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, a rom-com featuring her friend Justine Lupe, who plays a chaotic sister. The show’s renewal for a third season highlights its popularity. Snook appreciates Lupe’s comedic talent, further illustrating the strong connections she maintains with her peers in the entertainment industry.
She reflects on Big Little Lies, describing it as a significant influence on her upcoming role in All Her Fault. The show’s exploration of wealth and the fractures behind a seemingly perfect community resonates with the themes in her latest thriller, where the façade of normalcy begins to crumble amid crisis.
This eclectic mix of television offerings showcases Snook’s diverse tastes and the industry’s commitment to pushing narrative boundaries, with her own work promising to add to this rich landscape. All Her Fault continues next Friday at 9pm on Sky Atlantic and is streaming on Now.
