The main cast of All Her Fault is anchored by performers with strong industry credibility and proven craft. Sarah Snook, trained at Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art, has earned major awards for her work in Succession and acclaimed reviews for The Picture of Dorian Gray. Dakota Fanning, who began her career with I Am Sam, has collaborated with directors including Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino. Jake Lacy, Michael Peña, Sophia Lillis, Abby Elliott, Jay Ellis, and Daniel Monks add further prestige to the ensemble

Abby Elliott sharpened comedy on Saturday Night Live and The Bear, while Jay Ellis soared with Insecure and Top Gun: Maverick. Daniel Monks adds award-nominated indie credibility. Together, they create a cast equipped to carry a gripping thriller with credibility and impact.
