Tessa Thompson has her next television project on deck. The “Creed” star is set to star in and executive produce a new thriller series for Netflix, adapted from Alice Feeney’s 2020 novel “His & Hers.”
If you haven’t read the book, the thrilling series centers on a woman who was once a successful journalist but is drawn back into investigative work due to a murder. Unlike the book, which is set in London, the series will be based in Atlanta, aligning with the trend of Hollywood productions moving to Georgia. Atlanta as the backdrop of a murder mystery? You have our full attention!
Check out the official synopsis:
“Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna [Thompson] lives in haunting reculsivity, 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–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 and hers, which means someone is always lying.”
“I am beyond elated to be collaborating with a filmmaker I have long admired and an incredible team to make a fresh offering in a genre that I can never get enough of,” Thompson shared with Netflix’s Tudum. “From the second I heard what Will was imagining doing with Alice Feeney’s brilliant book, to the moment I visited the town where our story is set, I was hooked.”
We’re elated too. I mean these crime shows are all the rave right now.
Leading the charge behind the camera is Dee Johnson, known for “Nashville” and “Fellow Travelers”, who will serve as showrunner and write alongside “Ozark” creator Bill Dubuque. Executive producers include Jessica Chastain, Kelly Carmichael, Kishori Rajan, Kristen Campo, and Thompson. William Olroyd will write and direct the first episode.
This sounds like a goodie. We’re hoping to hear more soon! Stay tuned.
