Jon Bernthal, widely known for his work on The Walking Dead, is set to lead the psychological thriller His & Hers when the series premieres January 8.
Bernthal stars as Detective Jack Harper, a deeply troubled lawman working in his hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia. Assigned to investigate a shocking murder, Jack finds himself confronting not only the town’s hidden secrets but also the fractures in his own personal life.
Jack’s estranged wife, Anna Andrews, portrayed by Tessa Thompson, reappears as a journalist drawn to the same case. Their strained relationship fuels much of the tension, as Jack grows increasingly suspicious of Anna’s role in the investigation.
Bernthal’s portrayal centers on a man weighed down by past failures, loss, and moral conflict. Living with his sister and niece after losing his previous job, Jack is depicted as someone trying to hold onto his sense of right and wrong while navigating a case that refuses to stay simple.
The series leans into psychological depth and shifting perspectives, rather than relying on traditional crime drama beats. Bernthal’s performance anchors the law enforcement side of the story, offering a grounded and emotionally intense viewpoint as the mystery unfolds.
The supporting cast includes Pablo Schreiber, Sunita Mani, Crystal Fox, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Marin Ireland, and Chris Bauer, further enriching the small-town atmosphere surrounding the case.
With its slow-burn tension, Southern setting, and morally complex lead, His & Hers gives fans of The Walking Dead another chance to see Jon Bernthal deliver a layered and commanding performance.
