Peacock’s upcoming thriller “The Good Daughter” has recast its lead roles with Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy following Jessica Biel’s departure from the project in September. The series, set in the small town of Pikeville, centers on two sisters, Charlotte (Fahy) and Samantha (Byrne), still grappling with the aftermath of a past violent incident. When a new attack rocks their community, Charlotte, a lawyer, is forced to confront long-buried secrets as shocking truths begin to surface.

Fahy steps into the role initially intended for Biel, marking a significant shift in the project’s trajectory. The series explores the complicated relationship between the sisters as they attempt to rebuild their lives while navigating the resurfacing trauma of their shared history.
