A new, twist-laden thriller series is poised to captivate Netflix audiences and potentially challenge the dominance of crime writer Harlan Coben in the streaming arena. The six-part limited series His & Hers arrives on the platform in just a few days, on Thursday, 8th January 2026.
What Is The Plot Of His & Hers?
Adapted from Alice Feeney's bestselling 2020 novel, the drama unfolds in the sweltering heat of Georgia, USA. It follows two deeply entangled characters investigating the same gruesome murder in the small town of Dahlonega.
Anna, a reclusive former news anchor, sees the brutal crime as a chance to revive her fading career. Meanwhile, Detective Jack Harper is leading the official police inquiry. As their parallel investigations progress, their intriguing connections to the case and to each other are slowly and suspensefully revealed.
The official synopsis teases a classic battle of perspectives: "There are two sides to every story: His & Hers, which means someone is always lying."
A Stellar Cast Led By Marvel Stars
The series boasts a compelling lead duo familiar to fans of major franchises. Tessa Thompson (Creed, Thor: Ragnarok) takes on the role of journalist Anna, while Jon Bernthal (The Punisher, The Bear) plays the shrewd Detective Jack Harper.
They are supported by a strong ensemble cast including Pablo Schreiber, Crystal Fox, Marin Ireland, Rebecca Rittenhouse, and Sunita Mani. The series was developed and written by William Oldroyd, with Dee Johnson serving as showrunner.
Critical Buzz And Coben Comparisons
Even before its release, His & Hers has generated significant buzz, with early reviews drawing bold comparisons. Good Housekeeping declared viewers should "move over Harlan Coben," describing the show as a 'compulsive' thriller with an 'off the scale' twist factor.
This sets high expectations, suggesting the series could momentarily overshadow even the latest Coben adaptation, 'Run Away', currently on the service. With all six episodes dropping at once, it is primed for a binge-watch weekend.
For UK viewers, the series is expected to become available on Netflix from 8am GMT on Thursday, 8th January, following its midnight Pacific Time launch. Prepare for a deep dive into a world where truth is elusive and every perspective hides a secret.
