Jennifer Garner is making her return to television in “The Last Thing He Told Me”, a limited series based on the bestseller by Laura Dave.
Apple TV+ thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me.” Premiering April 14, the miniseries (executive-produced by Garner and Reese Witherspoon) is based on a bestselling novel by Laura Dave (and is co-written by Dave and her husband, Oscar-winning “Spotlight” screenwriter Josh Singer).The storyline follows Hannah (Garner), an artist and a newlywed who, for just over a year, has had what appears to be a great relationship with a widower, Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, “Game of Thrones”) — even though his churlish teenage daughter, Bailey (Angourie Rice), hasn’t warmed up to her new stepmother. When Owen mysteriously vanishes after a fraud investigation at his tech startup — “It’s like what they did at Enron,” Hannah’s friend Jules (Aisha Tyler) helpfully contextualizes — Hannah’s life gets turned upside down. She’s blindsided, since Owen never seemed like the white-collar criminal type.
Joshua Alston Jennifer Garner’s star turn came courtesy of “Alias,” the influential J.J. Abrams drama about Sydney Bristow, a grad student moonlighting as a sultry spy. Her agency? A sinister syndicate masquerading as a governmental skunkworks project, as Sydney and her colleagues toil unaware they’ve been working for the bad guys. The pilot opens on Sydney, battered and bloody after being captured and tortured by a rival faction. Then, it hops back in time to show how Sydney’s once-simple life became so treacherous, a journey that reveals to her how little she actually knows about the people closest to her. Perhaps that’s why, some 21 years later, Garner feels so perfectly cast in Apple TV+’s “The Last Thing He Told Me.” (So much so that even Julia Roberts, who dropped out of the role due to scheduling conflicts, suddenly seems mismatched with the material.) Based on the brisk, best-selling novel by Laura Dave, Garner’s new limited series is a much different kind of thriller than “Alias.” But it too revolves around a woman who abruptly learns no one around her is quite who they seem, and becomes determined to find answers even as each revelation places her in greater danger.
