- Peacock secured the rights to Andrea Mara’s novel Such a Nice Girl and placed the series in development with the All Her Fault creative team.
- Megan Gallagher will write and executive‑produce the adaptation, returning as creator and EP after the success of All Her Fault and The Break‑In.
- Carnival Films (part of Universal International Studios) will co‑produce, with Gareth Neame and Nigel Marchant joining Andrea Mara as executive producers.
- Lisa Katz, President of Scripted Content at NBC & Peacock, described the project as “smart, propulsive and immediately compelling,” noting its momentum from the start.
- All Her Fault became Peacock’s biggest original launch, logging 45 million hours viewed in its first four weeks.
- Andrea Mara praised the partnership, saying she’s “blown away” by the adaptation of All Her Fault and looks forward to the new series.
Why it matters: The deal gives Peacock a proven hit‑drama formula after *All Her Fault* delivered 45 million hours in four weeks, boosting its scripted slate and offering Andrea Mara and Carnival Films a high‑visibility outlet for the bestseller. The partnership also reinforces Peacock’s strategy to dominate premium crime series.
