A new suburban-thriller TV series featuring Australian actress and Succession’s Sarah Snook as star and executive producer is about to start filming in Melbourne, with the production estimated to support about 2,000 local jobs.
The series, All Her Fault, is being produced for NBCUniversal streaming service Peacock with filming scheduled to begin shortly at the Docklands Studios Melbourne and on location across the city.
Snook, the Melbourne-based Emmy and Golden Globe winner, will star in the lead role of Marissa and will be executive producer of the eight-episode drama series which is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by Andrea Mara.
“I feel so excited about being able to work in Melbourne again,” says Snook.
“The industry we have here, across all departments of cast and crew, is world class.
“There’s always a can-do attitude, and I’m particularly impressed with the sustainability efforts our team on All Her Fault are making; showing we can lower our environmental impact without compromising on quality.”
Snook, who starred in Successionand Predestination, will be supported by director Minkie Spiro who was behind 3 Body Problem, Downton Abbeyand Dead to Me. Spiro will direct the first episode, among others, as well as executive produce.
"Melbourne is an incredibly film friendly city brimming with amazing locations and immensely talented crew,” says Spiro.
Snook will be joined in the cast by Dakota Fanning, Jake Lacy, Abby Elliott, Sophie Lillis and Michael Peña.
VicScreen estimates the production will showcase Victoria’s world-class screen industry talent and facilities, while creating more than 2,000 job opportunities for Victorian screen industry workers, including 510 crew and five placements for emerging screen practitioners.
The production will also support 435 local businesses and inject over $70 million directly into the Victorian economy.
All Her Fault opens on a plausibly terrifying situation that eventually unearths the deep secrets of a community. Marissa Irvine arrives at 14 Arthur Avenue, expecting to pick up her young son, Milo, from his first playdate with a boy at his new school. But the woman who answers the door isn't a mother she recognises.
She isn't the nanny. She doesn't have Milo - and so begins every parent's worst nightmare.
Victorian Minister for Creative Industries Colin Brooks says Victoria is an “in-demand destination for screen productions of all genres and sizes and we’re proud to back this major series”.
“All Her Fault is just one of the productions being filmed in Victoria this year – showcasing our incredible creative talent, highly skilled crews, unique locations and world-class screen infrastructure,” he says.
Universal Content Productions’ (UCP) Mark Binke notes that the federal government’s location offset initiative had made it possible to bring projects such as All Her Fault to Australia.
“We’re delighted to be working with VicScreen again to further develop Victorian crew skills, particularly in the areas of virtual production and sustainability,” says Binke, the executive vice-president of production operations at UCP.
