What’s the story of ‘His & Hers’?

‘Fellow Travelers’ Dee Johnson adapted Alice Feeney’s 2020 novel, which is set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta.

Our focus is Anna (Thompson), who lives in haunting reclusivity and is 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 –– she is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers.

Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal) 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. Jack lost his last job and is now working in his small hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia, where he lives with his sister and niece.

Schreiber will portray Richard, 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. 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.
