Apple TV Expands Thriller Lineup with Two Major Series Premieres

Apple TV+ continues strengthening its thriller catalog with two significant series premieres scheduled for February and March. The streaming platform will debut the second season of Jennifer Garner's 'The Last Thing He Told Me' on February 20, followed by the psychological thriller 'Imperfect Women' starring Elisabeth Moss on March 18. Both series adapt bestselling novels and feature ensemble casts, expanding Apple's original content strategy in the suspense genre.

The Last Thing He Told Me Returns for Season 2

Based on Laura Dave's sequel novel The First Time I Saw Him, Season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me continues the story five years after the events of the first season. The narrative follows Hannah (Jennifer Garner) and her stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) as they navigate the sudden reappearance of Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who returns after years in hiding. The official synopsis describes their race to "reunite their family before the past catches up to them."

The series adopts a weekly release model, with the first episode launching February 20 and new episodes following weekly through April 10. The first season remains available for streaming on Apple TV+. Readers can explore the source material through Laura Dave's sequel novel The First Time I Saw Him.

Imperfect Women: New Limited Series Premiere

Imperfect Women debuts as an eight-episode limited series adapting Araminta Hall's novel. Described as a psychological thriller, the story examines how a single crime fractures the lives of three longtime friends. The ensemble cast includes Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, Kate Mara, Joel Kinnaman, Corey Stoll, and Leslie Odom Jr.

Annie Weisman (Physical) serves as creator and showrunner for the project, which premieres with two episodes on March 18. Subsequent episodes will release weekly through April 29. Apple's official synopsis notes the series "explores guilt and retribution, love and betrayal, and the compromises we make that irrevocably alter our lives," revealing how "even the closest friendships may not be what they seem." The source novel Imperfect Women is available for readers interested in comparing adaptations.

Platform Availability and Content Strategy

These premieres continue Apple TV+'s investment in book adaptations and suspense-driven narratives. The thriller genre has become increasingly prominent in Apple's content portfolio, with recent additions joining existing hits like Hijack and Slow Horses. Both new series will be available exclusively through the Apple TV app across all supported devices including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV hardware, and third-party streaming platforms.

Apple TV+ subscriptions cost $12.99 monthly or are included in Apple One bundles. As Apple expands its original content library, these thriller series represent strategic additions designed to maintain subscriber engagement between major tentpole releases.
