Peacock’s hit crime drama All Her Fault has quickly become one of the platform’s biggest breakout series of the year. Adapted from Andrea Martin’s bestselling novel, the thriller opens with Marissa Irvine in a panic after discovering her child has been kidnapped—only for the mystery to unravel into something far more shocking over the course of eight twist-filled episodes.
Starring Emmy winner Sarah Snook (Succession) and Dakota Fanning, the series has received strong reviews, award buzz, and high streaming numbers. Naturally, viewers are already asking one question: Is All Her Fault season 2 happening?
Here’s what we know so far.
Season 2 Chances: What Insiders Are Saying
According to a new update from Matt’s Inside Line reporter Matt Webb Mitovich, the odds of All Her Fault season 2 are currently “slim.”
Sources close to the production say the Peacock series was developed as a self-contained limited series, designed to adapt the beginning, middle, and end of Martin’s novel without stretching the story beyond its original source material.
Why a Season 2 Isn’t Guaranteed
- The series faithfully adapts the entire novel
- Peacock marketed it as a limited series
- No additional books exist to continue Marissa’s story
- Creative intention was to deliver one complete, closed narrative
However, Mitovich also emphasizes that it’s still early. Streaming hits have been renewed before—sometimes unexpectedly—when audience demand is strong enough.
A Breakout Streaming Success Could Change Everything
Despite reservations about continuing the series, All Her Fault has become a major streaming success for Peacock.
Streaming Performance Highlights
- 33.6 million viewing hours from November 7–13
- Tripled the performance of Netflix’s Death by Lightning
- Outperformed several major shows across top streaming platforms
For context, Death by Lightning—starring Sarah Snook’s Succession co-star Matthew Macfadyen—garnered 11.7 million hours in the same window.
These impressive numbers, paired with social media buzz and strong word-of-mouth, put All Her Fault in a rare position: a limited series that may be too successful to end after one season.
More clarity will come when Nielsen streaming rankings are released. If All Her Fault cracks the Top 10 Originals, the momentum might push Peacock to consider more episodes.
Could All Her Fault Become an Ongoing Anthology?
While season 2 is far from confirmed, the door isn’t fully shut. Peacock has previously expanded limited series in response to demand (much like HBO did with Big Little Lies). Executive producer Megan Gallagher could take a creative approach—one that evolves the show beyond its original story.
Possible Future Directions
- Anthology format focusing on different characters involved in the mystery
- New timelines to explore events before or after the kidnapping
- Spotlight episodes for supporting characters
- Marissa (Sarah Snook) returning in a smaller or mentor-like role
The ensemble cast is large and talented enough to support additional seasons, with potential storylines involving Dakota Fanning, Jake Lacy, Sophia Lillis, Abby Elliot, Jay Ellis, Daniel Monks, Duke McCloud, and Michael Peña.
Still, all of this remains speculative. Nothing is officially in development.
Why Fans Want Season 2
Viewers have praised the show for:
- Strong performances from Snook and Fanning
- Its gripping narrative pacing
- High production values and emotional depth
- Binge-worthy cliffhangers and twists
The finale tied up most major plot threads but still left viewers wanting more of the show’s tense, character-driven storytelling.
FAQs
1. Has All Her Fault been renewed for season 2?

2. Was All Her Fault always meant to be a limited series?
Yes. It was designed as a self-contained adaptation of Andrea Martin’s novel.
3. Could strong streaming numbers lead to a renewal?
Yes. Major success on Peacock and on Nielsen charts could influence renewal discussions.
4. Would season 2 follow Marissa again?

Production has not begun, so the earliest would likely be late 2026 or 2027.
Conclusion
While All Her Fault season 2 might not be guaranteed, the show’s explosive streaming success has opened the door to possibilities. Peacock could decide to expand the story, transform it into an anthology, or build a new mystery around familiar characters.
For now, fans will have to wait for more data and official announcements—but if the buzz continues, All Her Fault may join the growing list of limited series that find new life after a hit season.et
