Since its debut, His & Hers has become a global sensation, charting in the Top 10 in various overseas markets, including Argentina, Australia, the United Kingdom, and more. It’s an adaptation of the 2020 namesake novel by Alice Feeney. Dee Johnson served as showrunner on the series.
The cast includes Tessa Thompson as Anna Andrews, Jon Bernthal as Detective Jack Harper, Pablo Schreiber as Richard, Marin Ireland as Zoe, Sunita Mani as Priya “Boston” Patel, Poppy Liu as Helen Wang, Chris Bauer as Clyde Duffie, Astrid Rotenberry as Catherine Kelly, and Rebecca Rittenhouse as Lexy.

The 8-part limited series has received mostly positive reviews from critics, garnering a 66% approval rating on the review-aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes.
Meanwhile, John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal wrote, “Ms. Thompson, an arresting presence at all times, is pure emotional stealth. Mr. Bernthal can treat a tender moment as the opportunity to be overwrought. As twin stars of a crime drama, they’re in different orbits but convincing.”
