Apple TV+ has returned for season two of its highly anticipated series The Last Thing He Told Me, starring Jennifer Garner, Angourie Rice and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – and viewers are “locked in” for the next chapter.

Adapted from Laura Dave’s sequel novel The First Time I Saw Him, the eight-parter picks up after the events of season one, which saw Hannah’s husband Owen disappear for five years. When Owen mysteriously reappears after being on the run, Hannah and her step-daughter Bailey race against the clock to find a way to rebuild their family “before the past catches up to them”.

Not only is the series produced by Hello Sunshine’s Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter – the team behind hit shows such as The Morning Show and Daisy Jones & The Six – but season one was also Apple TV+’s most successful limited series when it launched in 2023, according to Variety.
