Sarah Snook stars as Marissa in the new show All Her Fault, portraying a mother facing every parent's worst nightmare. When she arrives to pick up her five-year-old son Milo from a playdate, she discovers there was no playdate and that Milo is missing. This event marks the start of a gripping mystery.
“When they gave me the book and I read it and found out what the twist was, I couldn’t say no, it was just so juicy and there’s so much to explore.” – Sarah Snook
As the story unfolds, it becomes evident that Milo has been taken by someone close to the family. Marissa, her friend Jenny (played by Dakota Fanning), and Marissa’s husband (Jake Lacy) work together to uncover the truth, challenging everything Marissa once believed.
Throughout the show, both Snook and Fanning highlight how unevenly household responsibilities are divided among partners. Despite managing their careers, the women often bear the bulk of childcare and domestic duties.
The title All Her Fault reflects how even Milo’s disappearance is perceived as something the women somehow allowed to happen, reflecting societal expectations and blame.
“I think it’s a conversation that’s been certainly happening in my life, in my friendship circles for the last, certainly five years at least, and coming more to the public forefront, about the invisible labor that women tend to take on in a relationship that has children involved.” – Sarah Snook
All Her Fault sheds light on the unrecognized emotional and domestic labor women endure in relationships, especially when children are involved, while unfolding a suspenseful family drama.
