The Jury: Murder Trial returns with new case

adapted from the best selling novel by andrea mara, "all her fault" opens on a terrifying situation that eventually unearths the deep secrets of a community. marissa irvine (sarah snook, "succession") arrives at 14 arthur avenue, expecting to pick up her young son milo from his first playdate with a boy at his new school. but the woman who answers the door isn’t a mother she recognizes. she isn’t the nanny. she doesn’t have milo. and so begins every parent’s worst nightmare. also stars emmy nominee jake lacy ("the white lotus"), dakota fanning ("the perfect couple") and michael peña ("unstoppable").

All Her Fault is every parent's worst nightmare

the iris affair is a tense and cinematic chase thriller that pits two brilliant minds against each other in a deadly game of hide and seek across italy. when enigmatic genius iris nixon (algar) cracks a string of complex online puzzles, she’s led to a piazza in florence where she meets charismatic entrepreneur cameron beck (hollander). he invites her to come and work for him to unlock a powerful and top secret piece of technology. her curiosity piqued, she accepts. but when iris discovers its dangerous potential, she steals the journal containing the device’s activation sequence—and vanishes. what follows is a relentless pursuit, from a remote cabin in sardinia through the bustling streets of rome, as cameron races to find iris in a high stakes game where trust is dangerous and failure could be catastrophic.
