Netflix has unleashed a gripping new six-part thriller, 'His and Hers', based on the bestselling novel by Alice Feeney. The series, which landed on the platform on 8 January 2026, promises a dark mystery set in the small town of Dahlonega, Georgia.
A Stellar Cast Brings a Chilling Mystery to Life
The plot kicks off with the grim discovery of a young woman's body, setting off an investigation that entangles two central figures with hidden agendas. Jack Harper, the county sheriff on the case, appears to know more about the victim than he admits. Meanwhile, Anna Andrews, a reclusive but ambitious news anchor, sees her report on the murder as a chance to revive her career after a mysterious hiatus. As the story unfolds, the shocking truth behind the crime and the intriguing connection between Jack and Anna are slowly revealed.
Leading the Pack: Marvel Powerhouses Take Centre Stage
The series is headlined by two major talents familiar to blockbuster audiences. Tessa Thompson portrays the shrewd journalist Anna Andrews. Thompson first gained significant attention for her roles in Dear White People and Selma in 2014 before starring opposite Michael B. Jordan in the Creed franchise. She is perhaps best known globally for her role as Valkyrie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a character she played in Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder. Her recent work includes the period drama Hedda.
Playing Sheriff Jack Harper is Jon Bernthal, another Marvel alum famous for his gritty portrayal of Frank Castle, The Punisher, across Netflix and Disney+ series. He is set to reprise this role in an upcoming Disney+ special and in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Bernthal first rose to prominence as Shane Walsh in The Walking Dead and has since become a staple of prestige television in shows like We Own This City and The Bear. His film credits include Sicario, Wind River, and The Accountant.
Supporting Players: From Video Games to TV Legends
The impressive supporting cast features several faces that audiences will instantly recognise. Pablo Schreiber takes on the role of Richard, husband to a news anchor. Schreiber is widely known for portraying the iconic Master Chief in the Paramount+ Halo series and earned an Emmy nomination for his guest role in Orange is the New Black.
Veteran actress Crystal Fox plays Anna's mother, Alice. Fox is a TV icon from her time on the classic police series In the Heat of the Night and had a major role in the drama The Haves and the Have Nots.
Other key cast members include Sunita Mani (Mr. Robot, GLOW) as Jack's partner Priya, and Rebecca Rittenhouse (The Mindy Project) as Lexy, the head news anchor. The ensemble is rounded out by Marin Ireland, Poppy Liu, Chris Bauer, and Mike Pniewski, ensuring a depth of talent throughout the suspenseful series.
With its all-star cast and twist-filled narrative, His and Hers is positioned to be a major hit for Netflix, appealing to fans of psychological thrillers and character-driven drama alike. All six episodes are available to stream now.
