Last November, Jennifer replaced fellow A-lister Julia Roberts in the project, which is being produced by Reese Witherspoon’s company Hello Sunshine.

The Last Thing He Told Me is based on Laura Dave’s best-selling novel of the same name. 

Per Deadline, Jennifer will play Hannah Hall, a woman who forms an unexpected bond with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) after her husband and Bailey’s father Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) mysteriously disappears.  

The Last Thing He Told Me became an instant best-seller after it was published in May 2021. 

The book spent 44 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list and was chosen as Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club Book of the Month when it was released.

Prior to its release, Witherspoon had already optioned the book from Dave, who is co-creating the series with Josh Singer.

The series will be executive produced by Witherspoon, Hello Sunshine’s Lauren Neustadter, Garner, Dave and Singer.

Olivia Newman will co-executive produce and direct the series, which is expected to debut in 2023.

Roberts was initially cast as Hannah but had to bow out due to scheduling conflicts. 

On Saturday, Garner shared a photo to Instagram to celebrate starting production on the series.

The Adam Project star posted a photo in which she was seen beaming as she leaned out of her trailer door upon which a sign read ‘Hannah Hall’.  

‘Dream role, dream team. ♥️ Week one. ✔️ #TheLastThingHeToldMe, streaming next year on @appletvplus,’ she wrote in the caption.
