Meghann Fahy's Next TV Show After Sirens Is The Good Daughter

The New Series Will Premiere On Peacock

Sirens is still at the height of its popularity on Netflix's most-watched charts, providing another great addition to Meghann Fahy's filmography. Fahy has been acting since the late 2000s and has had several great roles in that time, but her past three years have undeniably been the most successful. Now, following the success of Sirens, Fahy's next project will be the series The Good Daughter, which will appeal to Sirens fans who want an even darker and twistier mystery thriller.

The Good Daughter will be based on Karin Slaughter's 2017 book of the same name that follows Charlotte (Fahy) and Samantha Quinn (Rose Byrne), two sisters forced back together after years of separation. As teenagers, the two girls suffered a horrible tragedy when their house was broken into, their mother was killed, and both girls were left permanently scarred by their own brushes with death, creating a compelling family dynamic and interesting crime narrative.

The Good Daughter Continues Meghann Fahy's Mystery/Crime Drama Miniseries Trend

Fahy Has Had A Lot Of Success With Her Recent Miniseries Appearances

Fahy got a lot of positive attention for her recent film, Drop, but arguably, she is even better known for her appearances in miniseries from the past few years. After starring as a guest in various TV shows and leading The Bold Type, Fahy rose to prominence after starring in The White Lotus season 2. Though not a miniseries, The White Lotus' anthology format limited Fahy's role to one season. Her character, Daphne, was very memorable and earned Fahy an Emmy Award nomination.

Now, The Good Daughter seems set to continue Meghann Fahy's streak of miniseries appearances within the mystery and crime genres, but it has a lot to live up to.

In 2024, Meghann Fahy returned to TV in the miniseries The Perfect Couple, in which she played Merritt Monaco. The murder mystery series garnered mixed reviews upon its release, but like Sirens, it rocketed to the top of Netflix's most-watched charts. It was a hit with audiences and was favorably compared to other shows like The White Lotus, Big Little Lies, and more. Now, The Good Daughter seems set to continue Fahy's streak of miniseries appearances within the mystery and crime genres, but it has a lot to live up to.

The Good Daughter Has A Big Challenge After Meghann Fahy's Recent TV Streak

It Will Have To Live Up To Her Previous Work

Fahy's work so far has shown that she excels in this particular type of show, but that also means that audiences will now have very high expectations anytime she revisits the genre. The shows have all performed incredibly well, becoming some of the most talked-about miniseries around the time of the respective releases. Likewise, each has fared fairly well with critics too. Though The Perfect Couple and Sirens did face some criticism about the predictability of their plots or dialogue, they adapted their source material well.

Given that The Good Daughter will also serve as an adaptation, it will be interesting to see how the show's creators transfer the material to the screen. The book has a slightly darker tone than Fahy's previous miniseries, but that could be a good difference to showcase the extent of her talents. While filming is underway for The Good Daughter, it will be some time before it becomes available to audiences, so it remains to be seen whether it will be able to continue Meghann Fahy's impressive positive TV streak following Sirens.
