His & Hers Cast: Marin Ireland, Sunita Mani & More Join Netflix Thriller Miniseries

Netflix has officially announced that Marin Ireland (The Umbrella Academy), Sunita Mani (Death of a Unicorn), Crystal Fox (The Big Door Prize), and Rebecca Rittenhouse (Four Weddings and a Funeral) have been tapped to join the His & Hers cast for the upcoming psychological thriller miniseries. Production is scheduled to begin sometime this fall.

Mani, Fox, and Rittenhouse will be series regulars, while Ireland is set to portray a recurring guest-star role. Listed below are their full character descriptions:

• Ireland’s Zoe: Sharp-tongued and bored, Zoe lives in her parent’s house with Detective Jack Harper, and her six-year old daughter Meg. Her love of wine and her too-tight sweatpants suggests she’s a woman who peaked in high school. She’s letting Jack stay with her till he gets back on his feet, and the murder in their small town is equally exciting and shocking when she learns who the victim is.

• Mani’s Priya: Earnestly efficient, eager to please, and fascinated by murder, Priya is a new Sheriff’s Office detective and partner of Detective Jack Harper in Dahlonega, Georgia. Having left the big city to work in a small town, Priya brings a sharp quirkiness to the job that her mentor Jack finds both endearing and annoying.

• Fox’s Alice: Anna’s mother, who still lives in her house in Dahlonega, Georgia. Strong, says what she thinks, lives alone but maybe shouldn’t. She hasn’t heard from her daughter in a year, but she knows why.Her son-in-law, Detective Jack Harper, has been watching over her as her health has been in decline which has resulted in some odd behavior around town.

• Rittenhouse’s Lexy: Blonde hair, Hollywood smile, smart, professional, and driven by raw ambition, Lexy is now the anchor at WSK-TV News — a position the hugely popular Anna Andrews had previously held for years. As a new field reporter at WSK, Lexy capitalized on Anna’s leave of absence, leapfrogging into anchor desk position. Though she’s “delighted” to see Anna back at the news station, she has no intention of giving up the anchor desk.p

Who is in the His & Hers cast?

The His & Hers cast will be led by Tessa Thompson (Creed, Sylvie’s Love) news anchor Anna, Jon Bernthal (The Bear) as detective Jack, and Pablo Schreiber (Halo) as cameraman Richard. Based on Alice Feeney’s novel of the same name, the series is written and executive produced by showrunner Dee Johnson and Bill Dubuque. It is executive produced by Thompson, Kristen Campo, Jessica Chastain, Kelly Carmichael, Kishori Rajan, and William Oldroyd, with the latter directing the first episode.

“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.”
