The Last Thing He Told Me starring Jennifer Garner – cheat sheet

A woman must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter in order to ... look, it's going to get messy.

Oh yeah, what’s this then?

A limited miniseries for Apple TV in which a woman must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter in order to find her husband, who has mysteriously disappeared during an embezzlement investigation.

Sounds kinda familiar

It’s based on the number-one New York Times bestselling mystery of the same name by American author Laura Dave, which the Reese Witherspoon Book Club got behind. It’s sold more than a million copies since its release in 2021.

Who’s in it?

The book?

No, the TV series.

Right. Jennifer Garner as Hannah Michaels, Angourie Rice as Bailey and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Owen Michaels.

Is there a trailer?

Have reviews been good?
