Season 2 Insights from Angourie Rice

In a joint interview with Judy Greer for Us Weekly, Rice explained that unlike the first season, which closely followed the book, the second season will take a more creative approach. “It’s so interesting because we were filming the show at the same time that the book was being written,” Rice noted.

Details from the Source Material

For context, Laura Dave’s sequel, “The First Time I Saw Him,” was published in January and moves the narrative forward five years. In this sequel, Hannah, portrayed by Jennifer Garner, unexpectedly encounters Owen, played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, after he has gone on the run.

• Main Characters:
  • Hannah – Jennifer Garner
  • Owen – Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
  • Bailey – Angourie Rice
  • Quinn – Judy Greer
• Publication Date: January

Complex Interconnections

In the upcoming season, viewers can expect Hannah and her stepdaughter, Bailey, to confront the repercussions of Owen’s return. Old acquaintances, including Quinn, will also play a significant role. Greer mentioned that she only recently finished reading the sequel. “I read it last weekend,” she shared.

A Unique Production Process

Rice further commented on the unique relationship between the book and the show’s production. “They were in conversation with each other while we were making it,” she explained. This collaborative effort led to some unexpected outcomes, which Greer humorously noted. “I remember asking showrunner Josh Singer, ‘What happens now?’ and he replied, ‘I don’t know, she hasn’t told me,'” Greer recounted, highlighting the unanticipated yet exciting surprises awaiting the audience.

As the second season unfolds, fans of “The Last Thing He Told Me” can look forward to a blend of mystery and unpredictability that diverges from the book, ensuring an engaging viewing experience.
