A new suburban-thriller TV series set to start filming soon in Melbourne will create thousands of local jobs and showcase Victoria’s world-class screen industry talent and facilities. 

The Peacock series All Her Fault will film at Docklands Studios Melbourne and on location across the city with globally acclaimed local film and TV star Sarah Snook (Succession, Predestination) and renowned director Minkie Spiro (3 Body Problem, Downton Abbey, Dead to Me).  

Melbourne-based, Emmy and two-time Golden Globe award winning actress Sarah Snook, will star in the lead role of Marissa as well as executive producing the 8 x 1 hour drama series which is adapted from the bestselling novel of the same name by Andrea Mara.  

All Her Fault will create more than 2,000 job opportunities for Victorian screen industry workers, including 510 crew and five placements for emerging screen practitioners. The production will also support 435 local businesses and inject over $70 million directly into the Victorian economy.  

All Her Fault opens on a plausibly terrifying situation that eventually unearths the deep secrets of a community. Marissa Irvine arrives at 14 Arthur Avenue, expecting to pick up her young son, Milo, from his first playdate with a boy at his new school. But the woman who answers the door isn't a mother she recognises. She isn't the nanny. She doesn't have Milo. And so begins every parent's worst nightmare. 

Award-winning director Minkie Spiro will direct the first episode, among others and executive produce. Joining Snook in the cast are Emmy nominees Dakota Fanning (Ripley, The Equalizer 3) and Jake Lacy (White Lotus), Abby Elliott (The Bear), Sophie Lillis (It) and Michael Peña (Unstoppable). 

Megan Gallagher (Wolf, Suspicion) serves as writer, creator, and executive producer alongside executive producers Nigel Marchant, Gareth Neame and Joanna Strevens for Carnival Films (The Day of the Jackal, Lockerbie, Downton Abbey), Jennifer Gabler Rawlings and Christine Sacani, producer Terry Gould and associate producer, Andrea Mara.  

All Her Fault is produced by Carnival Films, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group, and was attracted to Victoria through the Victorian Government’s Victorian Screen Incentive. 

Victorian Minister for Creative Industries Colin Brooks said, 

“Victoria is an in-demand destination for screen productions of all genres and sizes and we’re proud to back this major series which will boost local screen jobs and businesses and inject more than $70 million to our economy.” 

“All Her Fault is just one of the productions being filmed in Victoria this year – showcasing our incredible creative talent, highly skilled crews, unique locations and world-class screen infrastructure.” 

Executive Producer and star of All Her Fault, Sarah Snook said, 

“I feel so excited about being able to work in Melbourne again. The industry we have here, across all departments of cast and crew, is world class. There’s always a can-do attitude, and I’m particularly impressed with the sustainability efforts our team on All Her Fault are making; showing we can lower our environmental impact without compromising on quality.” 

Executive Producer and director of All Her Fault, Minkie Spiro said, 

"It is an absolute honour to be directing All Her Fault starring Sarah Snook, in Melbourne with Carnival Films, and our on the ground team at Matchbox, alongside our studio partners at Universal International Studios. Melbourne is an incredibly film friendly city brimming with amazing locations and immensely talented crew.”  

Executive Vice-President, Production Operations, UCP, Mark Binke said, 

“We’re delighted to be working with VicScreen again to further develop Victorian crew skills, particularly in the areas of virtual production and sustainability. The VicScreen attachment and work placement programs are an invaluable training tool. We would also like to acknowledge the Federal Government’s support through the new Location Offset, which makes it possible to bring projects like All Her Fault to Australia.”
