Here’s what you need to know about The Last Thing He Told Me.
Laura Dave’s The Last Thing He Told Me made quite the stir when it was released in bookstores back in 2021, selling two million copies worldwide and quickly becoming The New York Times’ bestseller – not to mention a top pick for Reese Witherspoon’s online book club.
Is it any wonder, then, that the aforementioned Witherspoon (via her production company Hello Sunshine) has leapt at the chance to transform the page-turning thriller into a new TV series?
Here’s what you need to know.
What’s The Last Thing He Told Me about?
Hannah is absolutely in love with her husband, Owen. Indeed, it seems as if they have the perfect marriage – until he unexpectedly disappears, seemingly into thin air.

Before he vanishes, Owen manages to smuggle a note to Hannah: protect her. She knows exactly who the note refers to: Owen’s teenage daughter, Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. And who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother. At all.
As her desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, his boss is arrested for fraud and the police start questioning her, Hannah realises that her husband isn’t the man she thought he was.
Could Bailey be the key to uncovering Owen’s true identity? And, if the two women work together, can they figure out why he disappeared?

Mysterious stuff, eh?
Who stars in The Last Thing He Told Me?
Jennifer Garner takes the lead as Hannah, while Game Of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (that’s Jaime Lannister to you) steps into the shoes of Hannah. Angourie Rice, meanwhile, stars as Bailey – and the always-brilliant Aisha Tyler takes on the role of Jules.
What are people saying about The Last Thing He Told Me?
Laura Dave has been excitedly keeping her followers up-to-date with the show’s progress via Instagram.
In a recent post, which saw her share the trailer for the first time, the author wrote: “Oh how I love this show and all the people who worked so passionately and brilliantly to bring it to life.”
“I can’t wait to share Hannah Hall, Bailey Michaels and Owen Michaels with you!” she added.
