The Last Thing He Told Me Renewed for Season 2 at Apple TV+

The Last Thing He Told Me, starring Jennifer Garner, will return for a second season on Apple TV+.

The streamer renewed the dramatic thriller series for Season 2, based on the newly announced sequel to The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave, to be published in 2025 before the second season’s premiere.

Garner and Reese Witherspoon will reteam for the show’s sophomore season.

 

Starring and executive produced by Garner, the series follows Hannah Hall, “who must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey in order to find the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared,” per its synopsis.

From 20th Television and Reese Witherspoon’s Hellos Sunshine (a part of Candle Media), The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 will see Jennifer Garner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice, and David Morse reprise their roles.

“Like so many people, I fell for Hannah on page one of Laura Dave’s gripping novel. The move to actor and producer from reader and super fan was delicious — and made even sweeter by collaborating with Laura, Josh, Reese, and everyone at Hello Sunshine, as well as the amazing teams at Apple and 20th,” Garner said.

“Being part of this group, not to mention part of such a stellar cast, was a career highlight for me,” Garner added.

“I’m thrilled to get to tell more of Hannah’s story — I couldn’t have said yes more quickly to season two! These characters and their story mean so much to me, as I know they do to the many who have championed our show; we’re excited to give audiences even more with this next chapter,” Garner concluded.

The series made its two-episode debut with The Last Thing He Told Me Season 1 Episodes 1 and 2, “Protect Her / The Day After,” in April 2023. The first season concluded with The Last Thing He Told Me Season 1 Episode 7, “Sanctuary,” in May 2023.

“We are thrilled to be bringing this incredible team back together for another season of The Last Thing He Told Me on Apple TV+,” said Reese Witherspoon, founder of Hello Sunshine.

“The audience response to Laura Dave’s gorgeous novel and Jen Garner’s stunning performance in the series was so gratifying for all of us at Hello Sunshine. We can’t wait to dive in and see what’s in store for Hannah Hall in season two,” Witherspoon added.

Emmy Award nominee Aaron Zelman will join The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 as co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Academy Award winner Josh Singer, and executive producers Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter, and Garner.

“Working with Jennifer Garner, Angourie Rice, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been fantastic in every way, and Laura and I are thrilled to reunite with them as well as Reese, Lauren, and the incredible teams at Hello Sunshine, 20th Television, Apple TV+, and the entire cast and crew,” Josh Singer said.

“We’re thrilled Aaron Zelman is joining us to help lead our show as we dive into the exciting new season,” Singer added.

That forthcoming sequel novel from Laura Dave is set for publication from Simon & Schuster/Marysue Ricci Books in the U.S., and Penguin Random House/Century Books in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand in 2025.

“I’m over the moon to continue telling the story of Hannah and Bailey. The response to The Last Thing He Told Me has been truly extraordinary, and I’m grateful to everyone who read and shared the book and made this possible,” Laura Dave said.

Laura Dave created and adapted The Last Thing He Told Me alongside co-creator Josh Singer.

Hello Sunshine optioned Dave’s first book, and 20th Television optioned the upcoming sequel.
