September 13, 2024 — Today, Netflix announced that Crystal Fox (Alice), Sunita Mani (Priya), Rebecca Rittenhouse (Lexy) and Marin Ireland (Zoe) have joined the cast of the upcoming series, HIS & HERS, a seductive and twisty psychological thriller starring and executive-produced by Tessa Thompson. Fox, Mani and Rittenhouse round out the cast of series regulars while Ireland joins as recurring guest star. They join previously announced cast members Jon Tessa Thompson (Anna), Jon Bernthal (Jack) and Pablo Schreiber (Richard). From visionary filmmaker William Oldroyd, the six-episode limited series is adapted from Alice Feeney’s novel of the same name. The series begins production this fall.
Crystal Fox (The Big Door Prize, A Fall From Grace) as Alice:
Anna’s mother, who still lives in her house in Dahlonega, Georgia. Strong, says what she thinks, lives alone but maybe shouldn’t. She hasn’t heard from her daughter in a year, but she knows why.Her son-in-law, Detective Jack Harper, has been watching over her as her health has been in decline which has resulted in some odd behavior around town. Series Regular.
Sunita Mani (Death of a Unicorn, The Roses) as Priya:
Earnestly efficient, eager to please, and fascinated by murder, Priya is a new Sheriff’s Office detective and partner of Detective Jack Harper in Dahlonega, Georgia. Having left the big city to work in a small town, Priya brings a sharp quirkiness to the job that her mentor Jack finds both endearing and annoying. Series Regular.
Rebecca Rittenhouse (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Maggie) as Lexy:
Blonde hair, Hollywood smile, smart, professional, and driven by raw ambition, Lexy is now the anchor at WSK-TV News — a position the hugely popular Anna Andrews had previously held for years. As a new field reporter at WSK, Lexy capitalized on Anna’s leave of absence, leapfrogging into anchor desk position. Though she’s “delighted” to see Anna back at the news station, she has no intention of giving up the anchor desk. Series Regular.
Marin Ireland (The Umbrella Academy, Eileen) as Zoe:
Sharp-tongued and bored, Zoe lives in her parent’s house with Detective Jack Harper, and her six-year old daughter Meg. Her love of wine and her too-tight sweatpants suggests she’s a woman who peaked in high school. She’s letting Jack stay with her till he gets back on his feet, and the murder in their small town is equally exciting and shocking when she learns who the victim is. Recurring Guest Star.
Synopsis:
Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega – the sleepy town where she grew up – Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: HIS & HERS, which means someone is always lying.
