Jon Bernthal and Pablo Schreiber Set to Star in Tessa Thompson's Netflix Series HIS & HERS

Jon Bernthal (The Punisher) and Pablo Schreiber (Halo) have joined Tessa Thompson in Netflix‘s upcoming series, His & Hers, which is supposed to start production this fall.

The series is “set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta where Anna (Thompson) lives in haunting reclusivity and is fading away from her friends and career as a journalist.

“But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega – the sleepy town where she grew up – she is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers.

“Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story, his and hers, which means someone is always lying.”

It’s also explained that Bernthal’s character, Jack, is “a Sheriff’s Office detective who lost his last job and is now working in his small hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia, where he lives with his sister and niece.

“He is married to newscaster Anna (Thompson), but the two are estranged, their relationship complicated by loss and betrayal. Jack is a good man who doesn’t always make good decisions and is deeply troubled by the murder case he’s just picked up.”

Schreiber will play Richard, “one of the best cameramen at WSK TV News, and he’s also the husband of hot new anchor Lexy Jones, who slid into her position during the recent absence of regular anchor Anna Andrews.

“Richard is chosen by Anna to be her cameraman when, upon her return, she picks up the story of a murder in Dahlonega as a field reporter.”

The six-episode limited series comes from William Oldroyd and adapted from Alice Feeney’s novel. Oldroyd serves as a writer, executive producer and will direct the first episode.
