Despite initially being planned as a limited series, AppleTV+ has today renewed its original series The Last Thing He Told Me for a second season. The new episodes will be based on the forthcoming sequel to the bestselling novel by Laura Dave - which will be published in 2025.
Jennifer Garner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice and David Morse have officially signed on to reprise their roles in the second season.
Laura Dave developed the series and will continue to serve as co-showrunner alongside Josh Singer and Aaron Zelman. They executive produce with Garner, Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter. 20th Television and Hello Sunshine produce.
"The Last Thing He Told Me quickly became so beloved by global audiences and we're incredibly excited to expand the world of Laura's bestselling novel, alongside this amazing creative team led by Reese and Jennifer," said Matt Cherniss, Head of Programming, AppleTV+. "Season two will take viewers on an even more exhilarating ride with more mysteries, twists and turns around every corner, and we can't wait to explore the next chapter for these captivating characters."
"Like so many people, I fell for Hannah on page one of Laura Dave's gripping novel," added Garner. "The move to actor and producer from reader and super fan was delicious - and made even sweeter by collaborating with Laura, Josh, Reese, 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. I'm thrilled to get to tell more of Hannah's story - I couldn't have said yes more quickly to season two! 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."
"I'm over the moon to continue telling the story of Hannah and Bailey," shared Dave. "The response to The Last Thing He Told Me has been truly extraordinary, and I'm grateful to everyone who read and shared the book and made this possible."
