Yahoo Lifestyle Jessica Biel Exits Peacock Crime Thriller The Good Daughter
Jessica Biel will no longer be The Good Daughter: The Emmy nominee has exited the upcoming Peacock limited series, according to our sister site Deadline, after signing on to star and executive-produce the project in March. A replacement for her is expected to be named soon.
Based on the best-selling novel from Karin Slaughter — who also pens the Will Trent book series on which ABC’s drama is based — The Good Daughter follows sisters Charlotte (who Biel would have played) and Samantha Quinn, who have spent the last 28 years trying to piece together the lives that were fractured by a single night of violence.

“When another attack splinters the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte is the first witness on the scene,” per the official logline. “Now a lawyer like her father, she’s forced to confront her own demons as the case twists through one shocking revelation after another. In the end, both she and Samantha find themselves wondering if the price of being the good daughter was worth it, after all.”
Slaughter will pen all the Good Daughter scripts, in addition to serving as an executive producer. There’s currently no timetable for the miniseries’ release.
Biel is next set to star opposite Elizabeth Banks in Prime Video’s The Better Sister, with the two playing estranged sisters who are brought back together when one’s husband is brutally murdered.
