Apple TV+ thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me.” Premiering April 14, the miniseries (executive-produced by Garner and Reese Witherspoon) is based on a bestselling novel by Laura Dave (and is co-written by Dave and her husband, Oscar-winning “Spotlight” screenwriter Josh Singer).The storyline follows Hannah (Garner), an artist and a newlywed who, for just over a year, has had what appears to be a great relationship with a widower, Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, “Game of Thrones”) — even though his churlish teenage daughter, Bailey (Angourie Rice), hasn’t warmed up to her new stepmother. When Owen mysteriously vanishes after a fraud investigation at his tech startup — “It’s like what they did at Enron,” Hannah’s friend Jules (Aisha Tyler) helpfully contextualizes — Hannah’s life gets turned upside down. She’s blindsided, since Owen never seemed like the white-collar criminal type.
She’s also left attempting to care for Bailey after Owen’s last message to Hannah was a note entreating her to protect his daughter. Since Hannah hasn’t officially adopted Bailey, and if Owen doesn’t return, it’s not guaranteed that the teen could stay with her stepmom. At the same time, Hannah tries to uncover the puzzle of Owen’s disappearance and why he really vanished.
Her anxiety rises when Owen’s colleagues are splashed all over the news — with reports that they’re being investigated and indicted.Before long, what initially seemed like an issue with Owen’s workplace becomes a broader story of how Hannah might never have really known her husband, despite his geniality (seen in flashbacks). To make matters even more complicated, various figures emerge from the woodwork, and it’s unclear who she should trust — including a man claiming to be a US

Joshua Alston Jennifer Garner’s star turn came courtesy of “Alias,” the influential J.J. Abrams drama about Sydney Bristow, a grad student moonlighting as a sultry spy. Her agency? A sinister syndicate masquerading as a governmental skunkworks project, as Sydney and her colleagues toil unaware they’ve been working for the bad guys. The pilot opens on Sydney, battered and bloody after being captured and tortured by a rival faction. Then, it hops back in time to show how Sydney’s once-simple life became so treacherous, a journey that reveals to her how little she actually knows about the people closest to her. Perhaps that’s why, some 21 years later, Garner feels so perfectly cast in Apple TV+’s “The Last Thing He Told Me.” (So much so that even Julia Roberts, who dropped out of the role due to scheduling conflicts, suddenly seems mismatched with the material.) Based on the brisk, best-selling novel by Laura Dave, Garner’s new limited series is a much different kind of thriller than “Alias.” But it too revolves around a woman who abruptly learns no one around her is quite who they seem, and becomes determined to find answers even as each revelation places her in greater danger.
