His and Hers is Netflix's new 'twisted' thriller series that has viewers hooked
The 'seductive and twisty' psychological thriller is out now
Last updated 14th Jan 2026
Viewers are already obsessed with Netflix’s new thriller His & Hers, with fans calling it 'soooo good' and saying the twist 'blew my mind' after binging all six episodes in one go.
The six‑part crime drama that dropped on 8th January, follows estranged couple Anna and Jack as a murder in their Georgia hometown drags them back into each other’s lives.
With Netflix thrillers like Run Away still dominating watchlists, His & Hers has quickly become the next must‑watch mystery fans are raving about.
What is the series about?
Netflix’s Tudum describes His & Hers as a 'seductive and twisty psychological thriller' that constantly asks who you can really trust. It is an adaptation of Alice Feeney’s novel of the same name.
The streamer's official synopsis reads: 'In the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna (Thompson) lives in haunted reclusion, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor.
'But when she overhears talk about a murder in Dahlonega — the sleepy north Georgia town where she grew up — Anna 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.'
Every episode peels back another layer, with flashbacks to their teenage years at St Hilary’s Academy making you constantly rethink what you think you know.
His & Hers trailer
The official His & Hers Netflix trailer premiered on 11th December, alongside the caption: 'Two sides. One truth. HIS & HERS premieres January 8th, only on Netflix!.'
Watch the trailer below:
Who is in the cast?
His & Hers is led by Tessa Thompson as Anna, a once‑beloved WSK TV news anchor drawn back to the spotlight by a case she can’t ignore, and Jon Bernthal as Jack, the good‑hearted but complicated detective who’s still married to her – even if they’re living separate lives.
The cast is rounded out by Pablo Schreiber as ace cameraman Richard, Crystal Fox as Anna’s outspoken mum Alice, Sunita Mani as eager new partner Priya, Rebecca Rittenhouse as ambitious anchor Lexy, and Marin Ireland as Zoe, Jack’s sharp‑tongued sister.
When did the show premiere?
His & Hers arrived on Netflix on 8th January, after the official trailer released on the streamer's YouTube channel early December.
Why fans are hooked
Fans have been flooding social media with excited and positive reactions, praising the 'incredible' performances from Tessa and Jon and calling the show 'soooo good' and 'addictive' once the mystery kicks in.
One fan said: 'I just finished binge watching this and damn it’s good. I wish to erase my mind and watch it again.'
A second viewer wrote: 'I just finished this and all i can say is that this show is a very good way for Netflix to begin the year. Trust me when i say this, whoever you think is the killer is NOT the killer. That twist at the end is CRAZY!! If you’ve not seen this, run to Netflix to watch it.'
While a third insisted: 'This should win a Golden Globe and an Emmy. ❤'
'Mouth droppppppeddddd I literally JUST finished the last episode LITERALLY 👏👏👏🔥 GAGGED,' said another fan.
What has Tessa Thompson said about the series?
Speaking to Netflix's Tudum, the lead actor said she was happy to make a return to the thriller genre.
"I am beyond elated to be collaborating with a filmmaker I have long admired and an incredible team to make a fresh offering in a genre that I can never get enough of,” Thompson, who also executive produces His & Hers, tells Tudum.
She added: 'From the second I heard what Will was imagining doing with Alice Feeney’s brilliant book to the moment I visited the town where our story is set, I was hooked.'
Who worked on the series?
His & Hers brings together an impressive creative team, with director William Oldroyd (Lady Macbeth) co‑creating and co‑showrunning the series alongside veteran writer‑producer Dee Johnson (The Good Wife, Fellow Travelers).
Tessa not only leads the cast but also executive produces through her Viva Maude banner, joining fellow executive producers Bill Dubuque (Ozark), Jessica Chastain and Kelly Carmichael for Freckle Films, and Kristen Campo for Campout, with Fifth Season serving as the main studio behind the glossy Netflix thriller.
Where to watch His & Hers
His & Hers is streaming now on Netflix, with all six episodes available to watch.
