Warning: Spoilers for all episodes of “The Girl Before.”
Even “The Girl Before” star David Oyelowo couldn’t predict the ending of the show.
The actor admitted to Variety that he purposely avoided reading the book the HBO Max series was based on so the ending could surprise him.
“I didn’t want to know, because that’s part of the joy of it, trying to figure it out. Having all these twists and turns, some of them unexpected,” he shared. “Some of them may be what you expect, but not in quite the way you expected it.”
In fact, the twists and turns of the show constantly kept him guessing, with the ending blindsiding both him and his wife.

“I was genuinely surprised with where it went,” Oyelowo recalled as he read the final script. “And I’m pretty good at discerning these things early. And even my wife, who is an absolute genius — she read it and didn’t get it. So that to me really exemplified how well-constructed it was as a psychological thriller.”
The four-episode series followed Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s Jane investigating the death of her building’s former tenant, Emma (Jessica Plummer).
In the finale that aired Feb. 10, it’s revealed that despite all evidence pointing to Oyelowo’s character Edward Monkford as the culprit, the real murderer was Emma’s ex-boyfriend Simon (Ben Hardy) who pushed her down a flight of stairs in a jealous rage.
It was a series that constantly tackled the difficult issues of trauma and mental health at the heart of the mystery.
“As a society, we are getting better at acknowledging the reality of both trauma and the need for mental health, and the need for it to be treated as important,” he said.

After the trial, Tyler was sent to a lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment.”Now, in a new interview with Empire, Fincher has spoken out about the edit.“It’s funny to me that the people who wrote the Band-Aid [ending] in China must have read the book, because it adheres pretty closely,” he said, referring to the fact that in Chuck Palahniuk’s novel on which the film is based, ‘Jack’ is in an institution at the end.When asked about the ending, he replied: “Here’s what we know.
