A new TV series, “The Good Daughter,” is set to begin filming in metro Atlanta in early 2025. The drama is based on Karin Slaughter’s 2017 bestselling novel and will air as a limited series on Peacock.
Production is scheduled to start on March 18 and wrap by the end of June, according to IATSE 479, the union representing most crew members. Actress Rose Byrne is attached to the project, though no other cast members have been announced.
Jessica Biel, initially tied to the series, left the project earlier this year.
Byrne, known for her roles in Damages, Bridesmaids, Neighbors, and Physical, has previously worked in Atlanta. She filmed Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising in the area in 2015.
While the union confirmed the series will be shot in Atlanta, the specific studio location has not been disclosed. Recent Peacock productions in the area include Fight Night and Teacup at Assembly Studios in Doraville, as well as Hysteria! at Three Ring Studios in Covington.
Slaughter, an Atlanta-based author, has seen her work adapted for screen before. Her book series Will Trent inspired the ABC drama of the same name, which stars Ramon Rodriguez and Erika Christensen. That show returns for its third season on January 7. Another of her books, Pieces of Her, was adapted into a Netflix limited series starring Toni Collette in 2022.
“The Good Daughter” centers on two sisters, Charlotte and Samantha, who are grappling with the aftermath of their mother’s murder 28 years earlier. When a new violent attack occurs in the present, Charlotte—now a lawyer and the first witness—must confront her past as the case reveals shocking truths.
