Jennifer Garner & Angourie Rice Talk 'The Last Thing He Told Me' & That 'Alias' Reunion
After spending 65 weeks on the New York Times bestseller charts, author Laura Dave’s mystery-thriller The Last Thing He Told Me is finally heading to the small screen for a limited miniseries on Apple TV+. Produced by Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine in partnership with 20th Century Fox, the seven-episode series starring Jennifer Garner and Angourie Rice is already teeing itself up as one of our next, delicious summer binges! In an exclusive interview with Collider, the show’s leads reveal what it was like taking on their very complex roles, which involved the pair getting into a newfound “headspace” outside their filmography.
The limited series, premiering April 14 with a two-episode drop followed by the rest debuting on a weekly basis until May 19, follows Hannah (Garner), a woman forced to develop a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Rice) in order to find out the truth about why her husband Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has mysteriously disappeared. Adapted and created by Dave for screen alongside her husband and co-creator Josh Singer, Garner also serves as an executive producer alongside Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter. With the series boasting an impressive production and writing team, The Last Thing He Told Me also features stellar performances from Coster-Waldau, Aisha Tyler, and Victor Garber, who Garner tells Collider during our interview that she was excited to share the screen with once again following their five years on the hit ABC spy drama, Alias.
