The Last Thing He Told Me

Based on the bestselling novel by Laura Dave, The Last Thing He Told Me is a gripping mystery drama series that debuted on Apple TV in 2023. It stars Jennifer Garner as Hannah, a woman who finds her world upended when her husband mysteriously disappears.

Hannah's search for the truth about why her husband Owen vanished quickly escalates into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse. She soon realizes Owen had been keeping explosive secrets that now put her and his teenage daughter Bailey, played by Angourie Rice, at risk.

The only clue that Owen left behind is a cryptic note telling Hannah to “protect Bailey” at all costs. As the two go on the run from mysterious assailants, Hannah struggles to piece together what Owen was caught up in. She’s forced to take desperate measures to shield Bailey while trying to uncover the reality about the man she loved.

Their frantic search for answers spans the backstreets of San Francisco to the luxurious estates of Silicon Valley power players. Hannah transforms from a quiet wife into a fierce protector as her mission also brings long-buried pains from her own childhood to the surface.

Owen is portrayed in flashbacks by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, showing how his secrets started unraveling his marriage to Hannah even before his disappearance. Rounding out the cast is Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as a relentless FBI agent who may know more about Owen than he lets on.

With high-stakes action and emotional intimacy, The Last Thing He Told Me is both a fast-paced thriller and an exploration of trust and surviving trauma. Showrunner Charlotte Stoudt (Homeland, Fosse/Verdon) brings Dave’s page-turner book to the screen for a story about sacrifice, redemption, and the dark realities beneath even the most loving marriages.
