Inside the Australian Mansions That Star in Peacock’s ‘All Her Fault’

The latest must-watch thriller from Peacock, All Her Fault, is an intense deep dive into the dark secrets of the super-wealthy. The eight-episode limited series features a star-studded cast led by Sarah Snook as distraught mother Marissa Irvine and Jake Lacy—of White Lotus fame—as her husband, Peter. Based on Andrea Mara’s 2021 best-seller, the story was originally set in Dublin but has been relocated to Chicago for TV.

The drama ignites when Marissa arrives at the Kaminski family’s house to pick up her young son Milo (Duke McCloud) from a playdate, only to find the woman who answers the door has never heard of him. Suddenly, a terrifying mystery begins to unravel across the manicured lawns of what we’re told is Wilmette, one of Chicago’s leafiest suburbs.

There’s also a real-life twist of the real estate kind. While the story is set firmly in the Windy City, production reportedly only shot there for a few days, and the bulk of the series was filmed in Australia, partly for tax incentives but also thanks to what the producers called a “proximity incentive” for Snook, an Aussie who also serves as an executive producer.

The Irvine family’s home—the backdrop for much of Marissa’s unraveling—is a spectacular record-setting estate on the Mornington Peninsula in Red Hill South, about an hour outside Melbourne. The 16-acre property last traded in 2022 for between AUD 25 million and 27 million (about USD 18 million to 19.5 million), spending just 17 days on the market before shattering the previous suburb record, according to Forbes.

The sprawling estate features a renovated five-bedroom, six-bathroom main house overhauled by Sabrina Caisson of Helen Green Design, while the leafy grounds include an infinity pool, six-car garage, soccer field, tennis court, and former stables converted into a cocktail lounge and golf simulator.

By contrast, the Kaminski family home provides a stark architectural counterpoint. Dakota Fanning plays Jenny Kaminski, a fellow mother swept into the spiraling accusations. Their real-life house, known as Hawthorn House, is a 7,300-square-foot modernist residence completed in 2018 by Edition Office architects Kim Bridgland, Aaron Roberts, and Jonathan Brener.

The property is defined by two massive, textured concrete walls that wrap the house like a protective shell. The architects conceived the yard as a “living theatre,” creating a vast outdoor terrace that pulls the landscape right up to the house and gives the main living spaces a constant garden view. Downstairs, the concrete forms feel surprisingly airy, opening the interiors to the outdoors, while upstairs, bedrooms retreat into private courtyards lush with greenery. Materials are restrained—mainly concrete, timber, and brass—and the home incorporates passive-solar design, natural cross-ventilation, and rooftop panels to heat the pool.

Together, these two architecturally distinct Australian estates—a grand country manor and a sculptural concrete masterpiece—frame the series’ central mystery and raise the question of who is really behind Milo’s disappearance. And yes, if the whole “affluent community with secrets and stunning real estate” setup gives you Big Little Lies energy, you’re not imagining it. The Succession actress even acknowledged the comparison in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, noting that audiences love “pulling apart things that, on the surface, look glossy and perfect.”
