Yahoo Lifestyle Netflix’s ‘His & Hers’ Adds Crystal Fox, Sunita Mani, Rebecca Rittenhouse And Marin Ireland
Crystal Fox, Sunita Mani, Rebecca Rittenhouse and Marin Ireland have joined the cast of Netflix‘s upcoming series, His & Hers. Production is set to begin this fall.
The six-episode limited series from William Oldroyd and adapted from Alice Feeney’s novel 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 (Jon 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.
