‘It’s a Juicy, Juicy Story’: Sarah Snook’s Hit Peacock Thriller ‘All Her Fault’ Sparks Hope for Season 2
Fans are obsessed after that finale—here’s what the show's creator said about a possible next season
Peacock’s newest thriller series, All Her Fault, is taking the world by storm right now thanks to its charismatic cast, unforgettable plotlines and spine-tingling cliffhangers. In fact, people are so in love with the show that they are begging for an update on whether or not Season 2 is on the way. But will a second season really be happening? And if so, what will it be about? We break down what we know below.
What is Peacock’s ‘All Her Fault’ about?
In All Her Fault, Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook) goes to pick up her son Milo (Duke McCloud) from a playdate, only to discover that the family he was supposedly with has never heard of her or her child. Feeling frantic, Marissa begins to search for her lost son, only to discover several shocking family secrets along the way. It’s cunning, bold and based on Andrea Mara’s 2021 bestselling novel of the same name.
“This is a thriller. It opens with a bang, and once I knew what the plot twist was, where it was going to go, it was a bit hard to say no. It was such a juicy, juicy story,” Snook told NPR earlier this year. “It’s a little intense. Remember, it’s a TV show, and it’s all going to be fine. That first episode was, for me, how the book opens. It’s a page-turner. I couldn’t stop.”
Season 1 spoilers ahead…
Season 1 of the show ends with the family finding Milo—he was taken by a former nanny named Carrie Finch (Sophia Lillis)—but the twists don’t stop there. Carrie is actually a woman named Josie, who, it turns out, was in a car accident with Melissa and her husband, Peter (Jake Lacy), which resulted in her baby dying. Melissa and Peter assumed Josie took her own life after that, but it turns out she was really alive, plotting her revenge. And if that’s not enough, after Peter shoots Josie, he shares that he actually swapped Josie’s baby with his own after the accident, meaning that Milo isn’t Melissa’s son; he’s Josie’s.
Eventually, Peter dies after coming into contact with soy—his biggest allergy—which his wife had eaten hours prior.
“Peter had to go, let’s be honest. I was disappointed to see him go, I have a fondness for Peter, but Peter had to go,” Lacy told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year. “Those are the hardest episodes—I have no envy for a writer trying to answer how do we organically tie everything up and land the plane, but not make it obvious that we’re tying things up and landing the plane, [where] every story is still serviced, but not in a tacky way—that is just a thankless job.”
“And I thought Megan [Gallagher, the showrunner] crushed it. So it felt like a good ending had to be surprising and inevitable, and I think that’s both,” he continued. “That, as Peter is dying, I would assume an audience is, like, Yeah, that makes sense. But the way in which he goes out, you’re, like, Oh, of course. It is fun that that’s planted seven episodes earlier and then left to kind of fester.”
Will there be an ‘All Her Fault’ Season 2?
Following the explosive season finale, fans all over the country are wondering if there will be a Season 2 of ‘All Her Fault’. Currently, there is no news on whether that will happen, and since Mara never published a second book, there is also no sense of what the plot of a second season could potentially be.
Even so, Gallagher remains hopeful, telling Collider, “I would be up for [a Season 2], so we’ll see. For now, I have to give you the kind of stock answer and say that we’re excited for everybody to dive into Season 1.” In the meantime, true fans are clinging onto that “For now”!
All Her Fault Season 1 is currently available to stream on Peacock.
