Sarah Snook described her new role in Peacock's thriller All Her Fault as “very different from Shiv [Roy],” the character she famously portrayed in the hit series Succession.
With two Golden Globes and an Emmy, Snook had a flourishing career after Succession. She starred in a West End production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, performing all 26 roles herself. The critically acclaimed show later moved to Broadway, earning her both an Olivier Award and a Tony.
“It’s so difficult because Succession was such a big, zeitgeist, huge moment thing,” Snook said. “It meant so much to me, so just finding something different was really important. And I feel like this is that.”
Speaking at a press conference for All Her Fault, Snook emphasized her desire to select projects that differ from her previous work rather than trying to top the experience she had with Succession.
The show is a twisty mystery centered around a mother whose 5-year-old son disappears, marking Snook’s first major TV role since stepping away from portraying Shiv Roy, the cold and calculating daughter in a media empire.
Sarah Snook deliberately chose roles that challenge her and differ from her iconic performance in Succession, valuing new experiences over repeating past successes.
