The highly anticipated season 2 of Apple TV’s *The Last Thing He Told Me* premiered on February 20, 2026. This new season continues the gripping narrative established in the first season, where Hannah Hall, played by Jennifer Garner, faces the challenges following her husband Owen’s mysterious disappearance.
Season 2 Overview
Set five years after the events of the first season, season 2 presents Owen, portrayed by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, attempting to reconnect with Hannah and their stepdaughter, Bailey, who is acted by Angourie Rice. During this time, Hannah and Bailey have crafted a semblance of safety away from Owen’s troubled past.
Their newfound stability, however, is threatened by Owen’s return, which forces both Hannah and Bailey to confront their unresolved issues and make difficult decisions. Garner expressed this sentiment poignantly on Instagram, stating, “It’s hard to move forward when you’re looking over your shoulder.”
