Our Review
The Good Daughter (2026) is a drama and crime series from Peacock. It premiered on November 12, 2026. It is currently to be determined. It runs 1 season.
What The Good Daughter Is About
The Good Daughter is a suspenseful crime drama where sisters Charlotte and Samantha Quinn have spent the last twenty-eight years trying to piece together the lives that were fractured by a single night of violence. When another attack splinters the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte is the first witness on the scene. Now a lawyer like her father, she’s forced to confront her own demons as the case twists through one shocking revelation after another. In the end, both she and Samantha find themselves wondering if the price of being the good daughter was worth it after all.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, spread across 1 season and it leans into its drama/crime roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Meghann Fahy and Rose Byrne to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Meghann Fahy and Rose Byrne lead the cast.
Key roles include Meghann Fahy as Charlotte Quinn; Rose Byrne as Samantha Quinn.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama and crime have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Peacock’s other originals and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2026 and carried by Peacock with the series still to be determined, it lands hardest with drama and crime viewers.
How The Good Daughter Compares
If The Good Daughter lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/crime lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
The Good Daughter comes from Peacock. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole The Good Daughter is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Meghann Fahy and Rose Byrne doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/crime roots, It has held up since 2026 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Good Daughter is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and crime lane and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.5/10. Watch it if you want drama/crime you can settle into.
