Apple TV on Wednesday revealed a first look and premiere date for the highly anticipated second season of “The Last Thing He Told Me,” starring and executive produced by Jennifer Garner, along with returning stars Angourie Rice, David Morse, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and new additions Judy Greer and Rita Wilson. Based on the forthcoming sequel to Laura Dave’s acclaimed No. 1 New York Times bestselling novel and Reese’s Book Club pick, the eight-episode second season will debut globally on Friday, February 20, 2026 on Apple TV.
In season two of “The Last Thing He Told Me,” when Owen (Coster-Waldau) shows up after five years on the run, Hannah (Garner) and her stepdaughter Bailey (Rice) find themselves in a race to figure out how to reunite their family before the past catches up to them.
The gripping second season also welcomes new and returning cast Augusto Aguilera, Josh Hamilton, Nick Hargrove, Michael Galante, John Noble, Michael Hyatt, and Luke Kirby.
Ahead of the hit drama’s second season premiere, audiences can dive deeper into the story with Dave’s riveting and deeply moving sequel, “The First Time I Saw Him,” available January 6, 2026. Read or listen on Apple Books before watching Hannah Hall’s (Garner) pulse-pounding journey unfold on screen.
