Get ready for a gripping tale of murder, lies, and psychological twists as Netflix’s upcoming limited series, His & Hers, drops a bombshell on January 8th. But here’s where it gets controversial: what happens when restlessness turns into obsession, and the line between truth and deception blurs? His & Hers, adapted from Alice Feeney’s novel of the same name, stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal in a story that places them on opposite sides of a murder mystery. Directed by the visionary William Oldroyd (Lady Macbeth, Eileen), this six-episode thriller promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Set in the scorching heat of Atlanta, the series follows Anna, a reclusive former news anchor whose life takes a dramatic turn when she learns about a murder in Dahlonega, her sleepy hometown. Compelled to investigate, Anna finds herself in the crosshairs of Detective Jack Harper, who grows increasingly suspicious of her involvement. But here’s the twist: every story has two sides, and in His & Hers, someone is always lying. This psychological cat-and-mouse game raises a thought-provoking question: Can you ever truly trust what you hear?
The stellar cast includes Pablo Schreiber, Crystal Fox, Sunita Mani, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Marin Ireland, and Poppy Liu, with Oldroyd co-showrunning, directing, and executive producing alongside Dee Johnson (Fellow Travelers, The Good Wife). Tessa Thompson not only stars but also executive produces, sharing her excitement with Tudum: ‘I am beyond elated to collaborate with a filmmaker I’ve long admired and an incredible team to bring a fresh take to a genre I can’t get enough of.’
And this is the part most people miss: the series isn’t just about solving a murder—it’s a deep dive into the complexities of human nature, where boredom, suspicion, and obsession collide. With its intricate plot and compelling characters, His & Hers is poised to be a must-watch. But here’s the real question: Will Anna’s quest for truth lead her to redemption or ruin? And whose side of the story will you believe?
