His & Hers Cast: Jon Bernthal & Pablo Schreiber Join Netflix Thriller Miniseries

Netflix has welcomed the addition of Jon Bernthal (Daredevil: Born Again) and Pablo Schreiber (Halo) to the His & Hers cast for the upcoming six-episode limited drama, based on Alice Feeney’s novel of the same name.

Coming off from winning his first Emmy Award for his performance as Mike Berzatto in The Bear Season 2, Bernthal is set to portray the role of detective Jack. Meanwhile, Schreiber has been tapped to play cameraman Richard. Listed below are their full character descriptions:

• Bernthal’s 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 (Tessa 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’s Richard – is 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.

Who will lead the His & Hers cast?

His & Hers will be led by Emmy nominee Tessa Thompson (Creed, Sylvie’s Love), who will be playing news anchor Anna. In addition to leading the cast, she will also serve as an executive producer. The series is written and executive produced by showrunner Dee Johnson and Bill Dubuque.

Production on the miniseries is scheduled to begin sometime this fall. It is executive produced by Kristen Campo, Jessica Chastain, Kelly Carmichael, Kishori Rajan, and William Oldroyd, with the latter directing the first episode. The series is a production by Fifth Season.

“Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor,” reads the show’s official logline. “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.”
