Based on Karin Slaughter's bestselling novel of the same name, The Good Daughter is a story wrapped in "love, family and resilience", as it follows two sisters (played by Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy) whose lives are completely altered after a violent attack.
HELLO!'s Acting TV Editor Nicky Morris said: "I love a psychological thriller, and The Good Daughter sounds particularly gripping. Promising a 'suspenseful' and 'emotional' story which sees painful memories and buried secrets come to the surface, the series is bound to take viewers on a thrilling ride. Plus, casting Meghann Fahy and Rose Byrne as sisters is genius."
