Dakota Fanning highlights key differences between her new mystery thriller All Her Fault and last year’s popular series The Perfect Couple. Set in Australia, the latest project marks a shift towards a darker thriller tone compared to the more lighthearted moments in the previous show.
Reflecting on her experience filming in Australia alongside Nicole Kidman, Fanning says,
“There’s no dance. There were also more laughs to The Perfect Couple. I think this [All Her Fault] leans more into the thriller aspect of it all.”
She adds that viewers are drawn to the mystery element, as everyone enjoys trying to solve the puzzle of who is involved, which effectively connects the audience.
Fanning stars opposite Sarah Snook, whom she has long admired for her acclaimed role in Succession. She praises Snook’s talent and personality:
“Sarah, in real life, is just amazing. She’s such a talented actor and really a down to earth, grounded, fun person to be around.”
Due to Snook’s busy schedule, they had limited time to socialize off-set. Fanning respects Snook’s need to recharge and spend time with her family.
Based on Andrea Mara’s novel, All Her Fault is an eight-episode series following Marissa Irvine, played by Snook, a mother devastated by the disappearance of her child during a playdate.
