Netflix announced that Emmy® winner Jon Bernthal (Jack), and Pablo Schreiber (Richard), have joined the cast of the upcoming series, HIS & HERS, a seductive and twisty psychological thriller starring and executive-produced by Tessa Thompson. From visionary filmmaker William Oldroyd, the six-episode limited series is adapted from Alice Feeney’s novel of the same name. The series begins production this fall.
Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega – the sleepy town where she grew up – Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: HIS & HERS, which means someone is always lying.
Jon Bernthal (The Bear) as Jack: Jack is a Sheriff’s Office detective who lost his last job and is now working in his small hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia, where he lives with his sister and niece. He is married to newscaster Anna (Tessa Thompson), but the two are estranged, their relationship complicated by loss and betrayal. Jack is a good man who doesn’t always make good decisions and is deeply troubled by the murder case he’s just picked up. Series Regular.
Pablo Schreiber (HALO, Den of Thieves, Orange is the New Black) as Richard: Richard is one of the best cameramen at WSK TV News, and he’s also the husband of hot new anchor Lexy Jones, who slid into her position during the recent absence of regular anchor Anna Andrews. Richard is chosen by Anna to be her cameraman when, upon her return, she picks up the story of a murder in Dahlonega as a field reporter. Series Regular.
