Executive producer Bruna Papandrea of Made Up Stories in Australia optioned The Good Daughter and asked Slaughter if she would like to write the series.
Slaughter told Peacock that she initially had no interest but then got curious about the process of screenwriting. “I chose The Good Daughter because it’s always been one of my favorite books,” the author said about her decision to write the series.
Just like the novel, The Good Daughter series is a contained story that tells a compelling chapter in the lives of adult sisters Charlie and Sam. Both the book and limited series have a beginning, middle and an end in telling what happened to the Quinn family of Pikeville, Georgia.
