TV thriller brings star power to Docklands Studios

Melburnians can expect to see film crews about town in the weeks ahead as work begins on a new TV thriller All Her Fault starring Sarah Snook.

Melbourne local, Emmy and two-time Golden Globe winner, Ms Snook, who is perhaps best-known for her role in the hit television series Succession, will play a mother whose young son goes missing during a playdate with a school friend.

“I feel so excited about being able to work in Melbourne again,” Ms Snook said.

The industry we have here, across all departments of cast and crew, is world class.

The series will be filmed at Docklands Studios and other locations across Melbourne.

It is expected to create more than 2000 jobs for Victorian screen industry workers, support 435 local businesses, and inject more than $70 million into the state economy.

“All Her Fault is just one of the productions being filmed in Victoria this year – showcasing our incredible creative talent, highly skilled crews, unique locations and world-class screen infrastructure,” Minister for Creative Industries Colin Brooks said.

Joining Snook in the cast are Dakota Fanning, Jake Lacy (White Lotus), Abbey Elliott (The Bear), Sophie Lillis (It), Michael Pena (Unstoppable) and Australian actor Daniel Monks (Ricky Stanicky), while Minkie Spiro (3 Body Problem, Downton Abbey) will direct.

The series is based on the book of the same name by Irish author Andrea Mara published in 2021.

Universal International Studios will produce and were drawn to the state through the government’s Victorian Screen Incentive. Production began in late August. •
