Netflix has released the trailer for His & Hers, a gripping six-part crime drama starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal. The limited series, adapted from Alice Feeney’s 2020 novel, will premiere all six episodes on Thursday, January 8, 2026. Developed by William Oldroyd (Lady Macbeth), who also serves as co-showrunner, writer, director, and executive producer, the series promises a dark and twisty narrative set against the sweltering backdrop of Atlanta.
His & Hers follows Anna (Thompson), a former news anchor who has withdrawn from her friends and career, living in a state of haunted reclusivity. Her world shifts when she overhears news of a murder in Dahlonega, the small town where she grew up. Driven by curiosity and a desire for answers, Anna dives into the case, only to find herself under the watchful eye of Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal), whose suspicion of her involvement puts both of them on edge. As the story unfolds, the series explores the duality of perception—there are two sides to every story, and in His & Hers, someone is always lying.
The trailer teases the complex dynamic between Anna and Jack, revealing that they are divorced and that tensions run high as they navigate the investigation together. Scenes show Jack addressing the press at the murder scene while Anna confronts him with pointed questions about the victim, hinting at the personal stakes behind their professional lives. The narration, delivered by Anna, underscores the suspense: in a world of conflicting stories, trust is fragile and deception is inevitable.
Joining Thompson and Bernthal are Pablo Schreiber as cameraman Richard, Crystal Fox as Anna’s mother Alice, Sunita Mani as Jack’s new partner Priya, Rebecca Rittenhouse as news anchor Lexy, Marin Ireland as Zoe, and Poppy Liu as Helen. The ensemble adds depth to the series’ tense, psychologically charged world.
Executive production credits include Tessa Thompson, Jessica Chastain, Kelly Carmichael, and Kristen Campo, with Dee Johnson also serving as co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer. The collaboration between these accomplished creatives signals a high-stakes, cinematic approach to storytelling, with a focus on suspense, intrigue, and complex character dynamics.
As Netflix’s first major thriller of 2026, His & Hers looks poised to deliver the kind of twisty, binge-worthy storytelling fans of psychological dramas and crime thrillers crave. The series promises a tense and immersive journey through secrets, lies, and the blurred lines between truth and perception. With Thompson and Bernthal leading the charge, the countdown to January 8 is officially on.
