The team behind “All Her Fault” is back in business with Peacock. Variety has learned the Peacock has greenlit a limited series adaptation of the Katherine Faulkner novel “The Break-In.”
“All Her Fault” writer Megan Gallagher will write and executive produce “The Break-In,” while Nigel Marchant and Gareth Neame of Carnival Films — which produced “All Her Fault” — will also executive produce. Christine Sacani, another EP on “All Her Fault,” will executive produce “The Break-In” as well, as will Faulkner. Universal International Studios will produce.
The official logline for “The Break-In” states, “In the aftermath of a devastating home invasion, Alice Rathbone refuses to accept that the tragic event was simply random. Desperate for answers, Alice starts pulling at threads and soon finds a trail of dark secrets that spiral closer to home than she could ever have imagined.”
“After the breakout success of ‘All Her Fault,’ we knew we wanted to continue building on that creative momentum with Megan Gallagher and Carnival Films,” said Lisa Katz, president of scripted content for NBC & Peacock “‘The Break-In’ is exactly the kind of sophisticated, character-driven mystery our audiences are responding to right now – stories that tap into the zeitgeist by exploring the tension between perception and reality. Katherine Faulkner’s story is a compelling, addictive ride and a great example of the premium storytelling we’re continuing to build at Peacock.”
