Could this be the next Gone Girl?? Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson play characters with "something to hide" in upcoming Netflix series His & Hers. The six-episode limited project will premiere on January 8.
Thompson and Bernthal play a former couple who end up crossing each other's paths once again and reuniting, in a purely professional manner, following the murder of a common friend. It comes from critically acclaimed filmmaker William Oldroyd ("Eileen", "Lady Macbeth"). Thompson plays a reporter while Bernthal plays a London-based detective in the series which was adapted from Alice Feeney’s 2020 novel of the same name.
The official logline: "In the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna (Thompson) lives in haunted reclusion, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears talk about a murder in Dahlonega — the sleepy north Georgia town where she grew up — Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation."
Other cast members include Pablo Schreiber, Crystal Fox, Sunita Mani, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Marin Ireland, Poppy Liu, Chris Bauer, Rhoda Griffis and Jamie Tisdale, who are part of the show as recurring players.
His & Hers joins other long-format episodic credits in Bernthal's filmography such as The Punisher, The Walking Dead, American Gigolo, and The Bear. He also plays an integral character in Christopher Nolan's upcoming fantasy epic The Odyssey, in another first-time actor-filmmaker collaboration.
