According to Deadline, Pablo Schreiber (American Gods, Halo) and Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead. The Bear) are joining Tessa Thompson (Men In Black, Thor: Love and Thunder) in the new Netflix show His & Hers. Filming is scheduled to start this fall.
The show is based on the novels by Alice Feeney (Rock Paper Scissors, Beautiful Ugly) and the synopsis is as follows: “set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta where Anna (Thompson) lives in haunting reclusivity and is fading away from her friends and career as a journalist. But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega – the sleepy town where she grew up – she is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story, his and hers, which means someone is always lying.”
A description of Bernthal’s character, Jack, is incorporated as “a Sheriff’s Office detective who lost his last job and is now working in his small hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia, where he lives with his sister and niece. He is married to newscaster Anna (Tessa Thompson), but the two are estranged, their relationship complicated by loss and betrayal. Jack is a good man who doesn’t always make good decisions and is deeply troubled by the murder case he’s just picked up.”
Shreiber will play Richard, one of finest WSK TV News cameraman and the husband of the new anchor, Lexy Jones. Lexy landed the job when Anna was absent from her duties as the regular anchor. As time goes on, Anna chooses Richard to be her cameraman while she reports on the story of the murder in Dahlonega.
His & Hers was created by executive producer and writer Bill Dubuque (Ozark, The Accountant), executive producer, showrunner and writer Dee Johnson (Fellow Travelers, Summit Fevers), executive producers Jessica Chastain (The Help, Miss Sloane), Kristen Campo (See, The Good Guys) and filmmaker William Oldroy (Lady Macbeth, Eileen). The show’s studio is Fifth Season.
