Which The Good Daughter Character Are You?

Learn More About The Good Daughter

The Good Daughter is Peacock’s six-episode limited series adaptation of Karin Slaughter’s bestselling 2017 thriller, premiering November 12, 2026. It stars Rose Byrne as Samantha Quinn and Meghann Fahy as Charlotte Quinn, two sisters whose lives were split apart by one violent night in the small Georgia town of Pikeville.

Twenty-eight years before the story begins, the Quinn family home was attacked in retaliation for the work of their father, Rusty, a defense attorney notorious for representing the clients nobody else in town would touch. The night left the family shattered, and the two girls grew up into very different women: Sam left Pikeville behind, while Charlie stayed and followed her father into criminal defense work.

When a new act of violence rocks Pikeville, Charlie is the first witness on the scene, and the case drags both sisters back toward the memories and secrets they have spent decades avoiding. It is the kind of slow-burn, family-centered mystery that Slaughter fans love — part legal drama, part small-town thriller, part portrait of two sisters trying to find their way back to each other.

Brendan Gleeson plays Rusty Quinn, the rumpled, defiant patriarch whose career sits at the center of everything. The cast also includes Olivia Williams as Harriet “Gamma” Quinn, Harper Steele as Lenore, Michael Dorman as Ben, Shayna Benardo as Kelly Wilson, Jake McDorman, Paula Malcomson, and Jayson Warner Smith and Jason Davis as the Coin brothers, Pikeville’s sheriff and district attorney.

For Rose Byrne, the series continues a run of intense dramatic roles, while Meghann Fahy arrives fresh off her breakout in The White Lotus. Watching the two play sisters with completely different coping styles — one controlled and distant, one impulsive and rooted — is the emotional engine of the show, and it is exactly the tension this quiz is built around.

If dark, female-led mysteries are your thing, The Good Daughter sits comfortably alongside shows like Big Little Lies and Sharp Objects: small communities, buried trauma, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
