Netflix’s twist-heavy thriller His & Hers landed on January 8, 2026, and quickly glued viewers to their screens. The six-episode limited series stars Tessa Thompson as reporter Anna Andrews and Jon Bernthal as detective Jack Harper, a divorced pair racing to solve murders in tiny Dahlonega, Georgia-while each suspects the other.
**At a Glance
- Netflix has not ordered a second season of His & Hers
- The show is based on Alice Feeney’s 2020 standalone novel, so no direct sequel exists
- Three other Feeney books-Sometimes I Lie, Rock Paper Scissors, and Beautiful Ugly-are already optioned for film or TV
- Why it matters: Fans hungry for more Feeney twists can expect fresh adaptations instead of a Season 2
No Season 2 Green Light
As of early January 2026, Netflix has issued no renewal announcement. The streamer marketed the drama as a limited series, wrapping the central mystery-and the killer’s identity-inside the finale’s final minutes. While the closing scene leaves a sliver of ambiguity, the core questions land on definitive answers, making a continuation unnecessary from a storytelling standpoint.
Source Material Is a Standalone Novel
Alice Feeney, a former BBC journalist, published His & Hers in 2020 and has never released a sequel or prequel. Her bibliography moves forward with a new thriller almost every year:

- His & Hers (2020)
- Rock Paper Scissors (2021)
- Daisy Darker (2022)

Three More Feeney Books Headed to Screen
Production companies have already scooped up the rights to three additional titles:
Sometimes I Lie
- Status: Optioned in 2024 by Tommy Harper, Matt Charman, and Caryl Lewis after Warner Bros.’ prior option lapsed
- Premise: A woman emerges from a coma able only to hear; she fears her husband plotted her accident
- Previous attachment: Sarah Michelle Gellar was set to star when Warner Bros. and Ellen DeGeneres’ A Very Good Production held rights
Rock Paper Scissors
- Status: Suzanne Mackie’s Orchid Pictures optioned the novel in 2021
- Premise: A face-blind husband and his wife embark on a tense weekend meant to save their marriage
- Quote: “It’s good, it’s scary and it’s character-driven,” Mackie told Variety. Feeney added she was “excited and grateful that my book is in such safe hands”
Beautiful Ugly
- Status: Todd Lieberman’s Hidden Pictures secured rights in January 2025
- Premise: Writer Grady Green’s wife vanishes after her car is found dangling over a cliff; a year later he thinks he spots her alive
- Quote: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Alice on her brilliant and haunting new book,” the company said. “With its unexpected twists, sharp social commentary, and compelling narrative, it has all the elements needed for an exciting adaptation”
