Netflix’s New Thriller With 2 MCU Stars Has One of the Wildest Plot Twists in Years (You Need To See It)

Netflix is known for its suspenseful shows and movies with surprising twists, and its newest release might be the most shocking one yet. From the controversial finale of Stranger Things (which even sparked fake conspiracy theories) to the puzzling mystery in Run Away and the unclear ending of A House of Dynamite, the streaming service has delivered several endings lately that are meant to leave viewers stunned and generate buzz.

However, the new series, His & Hers, is particularly noteworthy. Released on January 8, 2026, this thriller features Jon Bernthal (known from The Walking Dead and The Punisher) and Tessa Thompson (Creed, Thor: Ragnarok) adapting Alice Feeney’s novel. They play Jack, a detective, and Anna, an investigative reporter, who find themselves at odds while investigating the same murder – but this isn’t a typical whodunit. The show also stars:

  • Pablo Schreiber as Richard
  • Crystal Fox as Alice
  • Sunita Mani as Priya
  • Rebecca Rittenhouse as Lexy
  • Jamie Tisdale as Rachel
  • Poppy Liu as Helen Wang
  • Marin Ireland as Zoe

His & Hers Is A Must-Watch Netflix Hit To Start 2026

The story centers around a murder in Anna’s hometown – the victim is Rachel, a former high school classmate. Titled His & Hers, the narrative explores the events from both Jack and Anna’s viewpoints, revealing they are a separated couple. As the story unfolds, both characters appear suspicious, and the plot thickens with increasingly surprising and captivating twists.

This show is fast-paced and made for binge-watching. Although early reviews are a bit mixed, it’s a really fun and wild series – perfect for cozying up with on a cold January night, which is exactly what Netflix is aiming for. The acting is excellent, especially from the two main stars, but the ending is what people will be talking about the most.

Without giving away any details, the ending of His & Hers features a shocking twist that’s genuinely surprising, especially considering all the unexpected turns the show takes. It’s worth watching just for that finale—few recent Netflix series deliver such a big impact—but the journey to get there is also very enjoyable.

What Happens At The End Of His & Hers And Who The Killer Is (Major Spoilers Ahead)

If you’ve been watching His & Hers or are curious about how it ends, here’s a spoiler-filled rundown. After a lot of unexpected events, the show jumps forward in time one year to reveal that Alice, Anna’s mother, was the one who killed Rachel. There’s a lot leading up to this, but here’s the basic explanation:

  • Anna and Jack’s baby, Charlotte, died as a result of cot death.
  • Anna left because of this, leaving a grieving Alice watching old tapes of her for comfort.
  • By viewing a tape from Anna’s 16th birthday (an event that had surfaced earlier in the series, but with new footage), she learns that her daughter was sexually assaulted, and decides to take revenge on those involved.
  • Alice attacked Rachel (after seeing her with Jack, the pair having an affair) and stabbed her to death.
  • Alice faked having dementia in the build-up to and aftermath of this, so that she’d have a perfect excuse and no one would ever suspect her of the crime.
  • Alice also then went on to kill Helen and Zoe.

The truth comes out in a letter the woman writes to Anna, which Anna reads at the very end of the show. They share a bittersweet moment together. The story concludes with a mother revealed to be driven by revenge – she pretended to have dementia to get back at those who harmed her daughter years ago. It’s a shocking twist, and while it’s hard to explain, it’s definitely worth watching to see how everything unfolds.

His & Hers consists of six episodes, and is now streaming on Netflix.
