The Good Daughter release date and time
| Premiere | Thursday, November 12, 2026 |
| Where | Peacock (US) |
| Episodes | 6, all released together |
| Time (ET) | 3:00 a.m., per TVLine's schedule |
| Time (PT) | 12:00 a.m. (midnight) |
| UK | Sky Atlantic and NOW, November 12, 2026 |
NBCUniversal's announcement gave the date and the six-episode drop but no clock time. TVLine's daily schedule for November 12 listed the series premiere at 3 a.m. Eastern as a six-episode binge, and The Streamable's guide had 3:01 a.m., so the episodes should be in your Peacock app now.
Where to watch
The series is a Peacock original and streams only on Peacock, which is available in the US. The Streamable notes that Peacock does not offer a standard free trial, so you will need a paid plan.
In the UK, the series is on Sky. Sky's own page says it premieres on Sky Atlantic and the streaming service NOW on 12 November 2026, with all episodes available from day one. One caution: that Sky page says eight episodes in one place, while NBCUniversal and TVLine both say six. Six is the number to trust.

Sisters Charlie and Sam Quinn grew up in Pikeville, Georgia, and share a painful past. Years later, a new act of violence hits the town.

Is it based on a book?
Yes. The Good Daughter is Karin Slaughter's 2017 bestselling novel. Unusually, the author adapted it herself and wrote all six episodes, her first work as a screenwriter. If you have read the book, the story and setting are the same; if you have not, the series is a complete story in one season, which is what "limited series" means.
Will there be a season 2?
It is billed as a limited series, and the novel is a stand-alone story, so do not expect one. Peacock has not announced anything beyond these six episodes.
More premieres this week
It is a crowded week for new shows. Netflix's teen horror drama The Body dropped all eight episodes on November 11, the same day Rings of Power season 3 began on Prime Video. Next week, the final season of Yellowjackets starts on November 20.
Season Release Dates is not affiliated with Peacock or NBCUniversal.
