His & Hers has officially set its premiere on Netflix for January 8, 2026, marking the arrival of a new limited psychological thriller adapted from Alice Feeney’s bestselling novel.
Starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, the six-episode series promises a fractured narrative where truth is split between two unreliable versions, his and hers.
Directed and co-showrun by William Oldroyd (Lady Macbeth, Eileen), the series introduces a tense examination of memory, perception, and motive, set against the oppressive heat of Atlanta.
A Story of Two Narratives and One Murder
The series centers on Anna Andrews (Thompson), a former news anchor withdrawing from public life. Grief and isolation have pushed her into a quiet erasure, until she overhears news of a murder in Dahlonega, the town she once called home. Drawn back into a past she tried to bury, Anna pursues the case with a force bordering on desperation.
Opposite her is Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal), who is immediately suspicious of Anna’s sudden involvement. Their perspectives diverge, their timelines conflict, and their motives rarely align. In His & Hers, every revelation is mirrored, and someone is lying.
Tessa Thompson Takes the Lead On Screen and Behind the Scenes
In addition to playing Anna, Tessa Thompson serves as executive producer, anchoring the adaptation with a performance built on restraint rather than melodrama. Jon Bernthal brings an opposing stillness to Jack, controlled, watchful, but fraying at the edges.

Why His & Hers Netflix Stands Apart
Rather than chasing a twist, His & Hers appears to focus on doubt, how perspective can incriminate, how narrative can distort. It’s a thriller rooted not in proof, but in perception.
