Jennifer Garner is back on Apple TV this week, and the mystery thriller is picking up with higher stakes and a bigger clock ticking in the background. The Last Thing He Told Me returns for Season 2 on Friday, February 20, 2026, bringing Hannah Hall and Bailey back into a story that never really stopped following them.
This time, the show jumps ahead. The central disappearance that tore their lives apart still defines everything, but the new season treats it like an open wound that never healed.

Teaser
Plot: where Season 2 is heading
Season 2 opens with a jolt: Owen shows up after five years on the run. That return flips the board instantly. Hannah and Bailey are no longer chasing clues from a distance. Now they have to decide what “family” even means when the past is standing in the doorway again.
The show frames the season as a race. Hannah and Bailey push forward with one goal, to reunite their family, but they are doing it while old problems close in from every side.
Season 1 recap (spoilers)
Spoiler warning for Season 1.
Season 1 followed Hannah as her husband vanished, leaving behind enough loose ends to make every truth feel temporary. Hannah and her stepdaughter Bailey started out wary of each other, then built trust the hard way while digging into what Owen had been hiding. The deeper they went, the clearer it became that Owen’s disappearance was not random. It was connected to decisions he made long before Hannah entered his life.
By the end of the season, Hannah had answers, but not closure. The story set up a future where “gone” did not mean “over,” and where the consequences could still find Hannah and Bailey wherever they ran next.
