This is Garner’s second AppleTV+ limited series, as she’s also set to star in an adaptation of Amy Silverstein’s memoir My Glory Was I Had Such Friends.
The Last Thing He Told Me is created by Laura Dave and co-created by Oscar-winning screenwriter Josh Singer. The story follows a woman who forms a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter while also learning more about her husband’s mysterious disappearance.
