Trailer: The Good Daughter. Cast, where to watch and more on the title page.
Rose Byrne is both the star and an executive producer of The Good Daughter, a six-part adaptation of Karin Slaughter’s 2017 thriller that arrives on Stan on Friday 13 November, every episode at once. It is a tightly wound family mystery rather than a sprawling procedural, and for Australian viewers it is the rare American event series that lands here a day after its home debut, with no wait and no weekly drip.
The series premieres on Peacock in the United States on Thursday 12 November. Stan has it exclusively in Australia from the following day.
Two sisters, one night in Pikeville
Byrne plays Samantha “Sam” Quinn, a patent lawyer in New York who has kept her distance from her family for years. Meghann Fahy, of The White Lotus, plays her younger sister Charlotte “Charlie” Quinn, a defence attorney who never left their small Georgia town of Pikeville and is now estranged from her husband.

Both women have spent two decades trying to make sense of a single night of violence that broke their family apart. When a new attack hits Pikeville and Charlie is the first witness on the scene, the case drags old memories and buried secrets back into the light and pulls Sam home.
Brendan Gleeson plays their father, Rusty Quinn, a larger-than-life defence attorney with no shortage of enemies in town. Olivia Williams is their mother, Harriet “Gamma” Quinn, a physicist. Harper Steele, of Will & Harper, plays Lenore, the office manager at Rusty’s firm who has been a second mother to the girls.
The rest of Pikeville
Michael Dorman, who starred in the Stan Original film Whale Shark Jack, plays Ben, Charlie’s husband and still a steadfast ally to the Quinns. Jake McDorman plays Mason “Huck”, a middle school teacher who has clashed with Rusty, and Paula Malcomson is Judith, a teacher married to the town’s beloved PE coach. Drew Cheek and Audrey Grace Marshall round out the cast.
Slaughter adapts her own book
Slaughter wrote every episode herself, keeping the book’s secrets in the hands of the person who planted them. Steph Green directed all six instalments. Byrne, Slaughter and Green are executive producers alongside Bruna Papandrea, Steve Hutensky and Casey Haver.
Stan subscribers have had a busy month. The service has already dated the new season of Black Snow and is rolling out Hamish Blake’s Unskilled Adult weekly. The Good Daughter joins them on 13 November, and The Remote has it alongside everything new on streaming in Australia this month.
