If you thought The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 was never going to happen, it’s probably never been a better time to be wrong, as the popular Apple TV+ original series is going to be here before you know it. The upcoming book-to-screen adaptation starring Jennifer Garner and Angourie Rice is currently in the works over at one of the best streaming services, and I have quite a few details to share.
Though it’s not known when those with an Apple TV+ subscription will be able to watch the sophomore season for themselves, or how many episodes it will include, the streamer has started to dish out some key details about things moving forward. And I’m here to serve them up to you. That said, let’s break down everything known about The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2.
What Is The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 Premiere Date?
Apple TV+ announced in March 2024 that it was turning the adaptation of Laura Dave’s acclaimed novel from a limited series into a full-fledged show when it gave The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 the green light. No premiere date was given at the time, but it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see the upcoming Apple TV+ show end up somewhere near the middle of the second half of the 2025 TV schedule.
About The Book And The Story
Choice award-winning novel of the same name, a gripping mystery about a woman named Hannah Hall searching for her husband, Owen Michaels (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), after he mysteriously disappeared. The premiere season wrapped up the novel (more on that next) and tied the bow on its story, so you might be wondering how Apple TV+ will get a second season out of it. About that…
When Apple TV+ announced the second season of The Last Thing He Told Me, the platform also revealed that it will be based on Dave’s yet-to-be-titled sequel novel, which is slated to hit bookshelves at some point in 2025. Details about the book and how it will be adapted to the small screen are being kept under wraps for the time being, but expect to know more about both in the coming weeks and months.
What Happened At The End Of The Last Thing He Told Me Season 1?
Though The Last Thing He Told Me Season 1 didn’t have the happiest of endings involving a reunion for Hannah and Owen due to the latter still being on the run from the mafia, it did start a new chapter for Jennifer Garner’s character and her step-daughter, Bailey, played by Angourie Rice. After striking a deal with Bailey’s grandfather, Nicholas Bell (David Morse), to guarantee the young girl’s protection from the crime outfit hunting her father, Hannah agreed to not go in to witness protection, essentially meaning she’ll never have a normal life with her husband again.
But in the final moments of the season finale, set five years later, Hannah had a run-in with a disguised Owen, who passed along a note expressing his undying love for her.
The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 Trailer
A trailer for The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 has not yet been revealed, and there’s a good chance we won’t see one for quite some time considering the show is still in production (more on that later). That said, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility to see some kind of teaser at some point in then early months of 2025.
The Episodes And How They’ll Be Released
The Last Thing He Told Me Season 1 consisted of seven episodes that were released weekly after a two-part premiere in April 2023. Apple TV+ has yet to announce how many chapters will make up the second season, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the next go around had a similar rollout.
The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 Cast
When the popular Apple TV+ show returns at some point in the future, it will bring with it much of The Last Thing He Told Me cast like Jennifer Garner and Angourie Rice, but the second season will also see some new arrivals as well. Let’s meet the new and familiar faces.
When the popular Apple TV+ show returns at some point in the future, it will bring with it much of The Last Thing He Told Me cast like Jennifer Garner and Angourie Rice, but the second season will also see some new arrivals as well. Let’s meet the new and familiar faces.
Jennifer Garner as Hannah Hall
Jennifer Garner’s Hannah Hall will once again be at the center of The Last Thing He Told Me when the show returns, but it’s hard to say how or where the series will pick up in regards to the character’s journey. Will it pick up after the events of the main part of the season before the time jump, or will things progress following the coda? Only time will tell…
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Owen Michaels
Apple TV+ has announced that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will be reprising his role as Owen Michaels when The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 premieres, but how his character is handled moving forward remains a mystery. The Game of Thrones alum will surely get more time to shine on the small screen, and maybe the second season will help fill in some of the gaps of his story along the way.
Angourie Rice as Bailey Michaels
Angourie Rice will also be returning when she reprises her role as Bailey Michaels in The Last Thing He Told Me. The character seemed to have a great relationship with her step-mom by the time the first season ended, so it will be interesting to see how that bond is handled whenever and wherever the story resumes.
David Morse as Nicholas Bell
Introduced in the second half of the show’s first season, David Morse’s David Bell could get even more time on screen as the actor is set to return to the series for its second season. The last time we saw Owen’s father-in-law and Bailey’s grandpa, the mafia attorney was on his way to earning his granddaughter’s trust when we last saw him, so perhaps that thread will be a major part of the sophomore season.
Judy Greer
In the first of what could be numerous additions, Deadline reported in October 2024 that Judy Greer had joined the cast of The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2. However, it is not yet known who Jennifer Garner’s 13 Going on 30 castmate will be playing when the show returns.
Production Got Underway In Fall 2024
It’s not yet known when The Last Thing He Told Me will premiere or what the next chapter will entail, but we should all know sooner rather than later as production has kicked off on the highly anticipated mystery thriller. In November 2024, Jennifer Garner posted an Instagram video of herself and co-stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Angourie Rice with a caption revealing that cameras were rolling. Expect to hear a lot more (or at least see additional behind-the-scenes photos and videos) very soon.
Aaron Zelman And Josh Singer Will Serve As Co-Showrunners For The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2
Aaron Zelman, whose list of TV credits includes everything from Law & Order to Criminal Minds and Damages to Lucky Hank, will be joining The Last Thing He Told Me Season 2 as an executive producer and co-showrunner. Back when news broke that the show was renewed in March 2024, Apple TV+ announced Zelman would be sharing his duties with Josh Singer, who co-created the series with wife and the novel’s author, Laura Dave.
Jennifer Garner is once again credited as an executive producer, as is Reese Witherspoon through her Hello Sunshine production company.
