The thriller series The Last Thing He Told Me, featuring Jennifer Garner, got a surprise renewal for a 2nd season. The Apple TV+ series, based on Laura Dave’s 2021 novel, follows Hannah Hall (Garner) as she interacts with her stepdaughter, Bailey (Angourie Rice), after her husband, Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), disappears.
Variety has revealed that the series has been renewed for a 2nd season, despite getting mixed reviews and being billed as a limited series. The narrative of the show is based on Dave’s upcoming sequel novel, which is scheduled to be published in 2025.
In a statement following the announcement, Garner stated, “Like so many people, I fell for Hannah on page one of Laura’s gripping novel.” She also said, “The move to actor and producer from reader and super fan was delicious. [It was] made even sweeter by collaborating with Laura, Josh, Reese [Witherspoon] and everyone at Hello Sunshine, as well as the amazing teams at Apple and 20th. Being part of this group, not to mention part of such a stellar cast, was a career highlight for me.”
The actress added, “I’m thrilled to get to tell more of Hannah’s story – I couldn’t have said yes more quickly to Season 2! These characters and their story mean so much to me, as I know they do to the many who have championed our show; we’re excited to give audiences even more with this next chapter.”

For the second season, Garner, Rice, Coster-Waldau and David Morse—who portrays Owen’s father-in-law—will all return to their roles. Aaron Zelman will also be an executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Dave and Josh Singer.
