What is The Good Daughter about?
Billed as a "suspenseful thriller wrapped in a deeply emotional story about love, family, and resilience," the limited series centres around two sisters, Charlotte (Meghann Fahy) and Samantha (Rose Byrne) Quinn, who have spent the last twenty years trying to piece together the lives that were fractured by a single night of violence.
The synopsis continues: "When another attack splinters the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte, now a lawyer like her father, is the first witness on the scene.

An impressive cast of stars join Meghann and Rose in the show, including Brendan Gleeson, Harper Steele, Olivia Williams, Drew Ann Cheek, Audrey Grace Marshall and Michael Dorman.
What did leading star Meghann Fahy say about the show?
At Sky's UP NEXT event, Meghann described the thriller as "unflinching".
"It unapologetically looks at trauma, the way we deal with it and how to overcome it," said The White Lotus star. "It's ultimately a story about family. Rose Byrne and I play sisters. We've been estranged for 20 years when the story begins.
"As a result of a tragic event that happens in our small hometown in Georgia, she comes home and that's how things kick off," Meghann continued.

"That's one of the things I love about the character; she's so undone and so all over the place. She's really, really motivated by the things she believes in," added the actress.
When will the series be released?
Sky has yet to reveal an official release date for The Good Daughter. However, we do know that the series will arrive on TV screens this year.
