If you’re wondering what to binge-watch this weekend, the answer is All Her Fault on Peacock. Even if you’re not one to typically binge-watch shows, this one is so addictive that it immediately pulls you into its instant drama. I became hooked right away!
All Her Fault premiered on November 6, 2025, and is based on the critically acclaimed best-selling novel of the same name by Andrea Mara. The show features a stellar cast, including Sarah Snook, Dakota Fanning, Jake Lacy, and Michael Peña.
The story opens with Marissa Irvine arriving at a neighbor’s house to pick up her son, Milo, from a playdate with his classmate, Jacob. However, when Marissa rings the doorbell, the woman who answers, Esther, tells her that there are no children in her house and that she is not a nanny. Marissa’s heart drops, and so does mine. She starts to seek an explanation for why she is there. Esther suggests it might be a wrong address, and Marissa assumes it’s a voice-to-text error or a typo.
When Marissa calls the number, she discovers it is now disconnected. Panic starts to set in as she contacts another mom to confirm the number. This mom, Sarah, informs her that Jacob is at the park with her and that Milo isn’t there. Sarah gives Marissa the correct phone number for the other mom, Jenny, who tells her she never sent a text.
Marissa rushes home to meet her husband, panicking and asking if Milo is with him. He says no, and they both return home, where they are met by Peter’s siblings and Marissa’s business partner, who have come to comfort them. A formal search begins, and they file a police report, with their first suspect being their nanny, Ana Garcia, who coincidentally is out of town.
All Her Fault is filled with twists and turns, embodying every parent’s nightmare. Like any good thriller, it keeps you guessing who’s at fault. As the title suggests, you want to blame Marissa. What mother arranges a playdate via text? Plus, she allowed her son to go to a house she’s never been to, despite having briefly met the other mother at a school gathering, where they did bond.
The show is a mystery, and the ending is something I did not see coming, so I won’t spoil it for you. It is a must-watch and consists of only 8 episodes streaming now on Peacock. The acting is phenomenal, Sarah Snook, Jake Lacy, and Dakota Fanning are superb, and the rest of the cast delivers excellent performances.
