AISHA TYLER, LAURA DAVE and JOSH SINGER DISCUSS, THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME

What would you do after discovering  you've been living a lie and then have to pick up the pieces of your shattered life?  That's the premise of the new series, The Last Thing He Told Me.

Based on Laura Dave's best selling book of the same name, the series centers around  a woman whose life is turned upside down after the mysterious disappearance of her husband. ( played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)
Jennifer Garner stars as the wife searching for answers, aided by Tyler's Jules -- her best friend and reporter -- and stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice).

Although know for her comedic chops, the series is the latest addition into thriller territory for Tyler. In addition to her long-running role on "Criminal Minds: Evolution," she's also recently appeared on "Fear the Walking Dead," and not only directed four episodes across the "Walking Dead" universe, but also episodes of "Evil" and "Roswell, New Mexico."

Tyler loved having the opportunity to play bestie opposite Jennifer Garner who she considers a pro and good friend in real life.  Tyler also chose not to read the best selling novel for her role as Jules, because the series gave her the opportunity to dive deeper and flesh her out. 

Author Laura Dave was thrilled to get the opportunity to bring her beloved characters to life,  which she  along with her  husband - Oscar winner Josh Singer has adapted into the series. 

Singer, who won an Academy Award for his “Spotlight” original screenplay in 2016, had originally planned to adapt his wife’s book into a film. “Hello Sunshine (Reese Witherspoon‘s production company) came to  them proposing a mini series instead and both Singer and Dave were intrigued.  They immediately got to work and in no time, the series was born. 

“The Last Thing He Told Me” will debut globally with the first two episodes of the seven-part series on Friday, April 14 on Apple TV+, followed by new episodes every Friday through May 19.
