The expectation was that the show would transfer to Broadway. So when she was approached by <em>All Her Fault <\/em>creator Megan Gallagher and executive producer Nigel Marchant, Snook remembers saying a lot of, \u201cNo, there\u2019s no way I can do this show,\u201d she recalls, noting balancing a TV return with Broadway was just too much of an ask. \u201cAnd to do it away from home, it would mean that it\u2019s too long away from my family,\u201d adds Snook, who had at the time just welcomed a daughter with husband Dave Lawson.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBut then Gallagher said there was a possibility of filming in Snook\u2019s native country, Australia. That piqued the actress\u2019 interest enough to at least take a look at the script. \u201cWhen reading it, I was like, \u2018I haven\u2019t really done a thriller genre thing in a TV episodic before.\u2019 And the thing that really captured me was that there are lots of twisty-turny plots \u2014 a good plot is one thing, but you want to stay for the characters, or rewatch for the characters, and this seemed to have great interpersonal relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnd so, with a newborn baby in tow \u2014 after taking Gallagher up on her suggestion to read Andrea Mara\u2019s 2021 novel that they would be adapting \u2014 Snook signed on to <em>All Her Fault<\/em>, the eight-parter that would go on to become the most watched original series in Peacock\u2019s history, with 46 million viewing hours accrued within the first three weeks of its November release. In the show, she stars as Marissa Irvine, an upper-middle-class mother living in a wealthy Chicago suburb who goes to pick up her son, Milo (Duke McCloud), from an arranged playdate. The woman who answers the door has never heard of Marissa or Milo, and so begins every parent\u2019s worst nightmare: a frantic search for a missing child.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe show is, as Snook put it, pretty damn \u201ctwisty-turny.\u201d The investigation into Milo\u2019s disappearance \u2014 led by good-hearted detective Jim Alcaras (Michael Pe\u00f1a) \u2014 strains Marissa\u2019s marriage to commodities trader Peter (Jake Lacy), as well as her business partnership with longtime friend and gambling addict Colin (Jay Ellis). Later in the season, we find out (spoilers ahead!) that the life-altering injury sustained by Peter\u2019s brother, Brian (Daniel Monks), as a child was a purposeful ploy by Peter and not their sister, Lia (Abby Elliott), who was made to believe it was her doing and carried that guilt through to adulthood. It\u2019s also revealed that Josie (Sophia Lillis), the young nanny of fellow mother Jenny (Dakota Fanning), has kidnapped Milo, believing him to be the perfect replacement for her dead child, killed in an accident around the time Milo was born.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe most common question Snook has fielded so far is why she chose this series after <em>Succession<\/em>, and the short answer is because Marissa isn\u2019t Shiv. \u201cThere\u2019s crossover \u2014 similarities in the financial world, the wealth \u2014 but in terms of personal character, they\u2019re quite different. And Marissa is probably closer to myself,\u201d says Snook. \u201cShiv was just so cold,\u201d she adds with a laugh. \u201cThis is a person who\u2019s charismatic and fun and caring and sees through all the bullshit. \u2026 And then to see how that person goes through [the] completely surreal experience of losing her child and her husband turning out not to be necessarily who she thought he was \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=1351\">Matthew\u202fRhys Reveals He and Dave Annable Unsuccessfully Pitched a \u2018Brothers &amp; Sisters\u2019 Holiday Special<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThat was the most difficult part of tackling Marissa \u2014 staying in a perpetual state of panic, Snook says. \u201cIt was challenging to make sure that there were shades to that grief and intensity. There are levels of engagement with the fear and the context \u2014 is it as intense as it needs to be here? Does that offset something more tense later and we don\u2019t actually get the payoff?\u201d She found it helpful leaning into the wardrobe cues of costume designer Gypsy Taylor, who bundled Marissa in layers or dressed her more stripped-down, depending on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSnook admits that tuning in to that fear \u201ccertainly was more available to me\u201d after becoming a parent herself. \u201cI\u2019m not an anxious person in that sense. But I think I was able to access the imaginative world more easily \u2026 where I could understand the nuance of what that would feel like,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs an executive producer for the series, she was inspired by watching her former bosses. \u201cThe thing that I really noticed on <em>Succession<\/em> that I admired was the people at the top \u2014 particularly [creator] Jesse Armstrong and [EP] Mark Mylod but also all the heads of department \u2014 with the mindset of, there\u2019s not really a hierarchy,\u201d she explains. \u201cThere\u2019s a hierarchy in terms of the necessity to get things done, but an equality in the value of people\u2019s work. \u2026 You can see the efforts that Mark and Jesse were putting in, and so then you, as an individual with respect for them, want to show them how much you believe in the project, too. I think that\u2019s a great tone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSnook admits she\u2019s not yet in on any plans for a possible show return. She\u2019s evidently still in disbelief at just how popular <em>All Her Fault <\/em>proved to be: \u201c[Peacock got] something like a million subscribers from it as well,\u201d she says, wide-eyed. \u201cI guess there\u2019s something we miss frequently about community-watching when we\u2019re doing it on our phones, independently, by ourselves,\u201d she considers. \u201cIn the end, there\u2019s something really delicious about a bandwagon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>This story first appeared in a June stand-alone issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
