Developed by William Oldroyd, His & Hers is an upcoming Netflix mystery thriller series starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal. The show follows Anna, who used to be a news anchor and is now obsessed with a murder case, and a detective, Jack Harper, who involves her in his investigation because of her overinvolvement. However, things are not strictly professional between them, as the show will also see them get attracted to each other.

The series is based on the novel of the same name by Alice Feeney and will be released on Netflix on January 8, 2026. A few months ahead of the release, Netflix has just released the first look at Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal in His & Hers.

As a WSK TV news anchor, Anna lives in Atlanta, where her life and career have become stagnant. Hence, when she hears that a murder has taken place in Dahlonega, she comes back home to look for answers. However, Jack Harper, a detective at the Sheriff's office, becomes suspicious of Anna being so interested in the case and ends up involving her in the mess of his investigation, too.
