Tessa Thompson to Headline Netflix’s Thriller His & Hers
is set to star in, a Netflix limited thriller series based on Alice Feeney’s novel of the same name.
In addition to playing a lead role in the upcoming six-episode thriller drama, the Thor: Love and Thunder star will also executive produce the series through her Viva Maude production company.

Johnson will serve as the showrunner, with Oldroyd set to direct His & Her’s first episode.
