The ending of ‘His & Hers’ explained: who is revealed to be the killer?

By Max PilleyNME

The twisty thriller series His & Hers is riding high on Netflix , but who is revealed to be the killer by the end of the season? Find out below. The show landed on the streamer last week (January 8), with all six episodes available to watch now. It is based on the 2020 novel of the same name by Alice Feeney and it stars Tessa Thompson as news reporter Anna Andrews and Jon Bernthal as Detective Jack Harper, her estranged husband who works for the local sheriff’s office. As the couple investigate a murder in their hometown, suspicion and secrets emerge. Lady Macbeth and Eileen director William Oldroyd has developed the show, while Dee Johnson, a veteran of shows including ER , Nashville , The Good Wife and Southland , serves as showrunner. Watch the trailer for His & Hers here: A Netflix plot synopsis reads: “Set in the sweltering heat of Atlanta, Anna lives in haunting reclusivity, fading away from her friends and career as a news anchor. But when she overhears about a murder in Dahlonega - the sleepy town where she grew up - Anna is snapped back to life, pouncing on the case and searching for answers. Detective Jack Harper is strangely suspicious of her involvement, chasing her into the crosshairs of his own investigation. There are two sides to every story: His & Hers , which means someone is always lying.” Recommended The show also makes use of a number of notable needle drops , including Ol’ Dirty Bastard , Britney Spears and Roberta Flack. The ending of His & Hers explained: who is revealed to be the killer? Throughout the show, a number of murders have terrorised the town of Dahlonega, and both Thompson’s Anna and Bernthal’s Jack have connections to the victims. They both fall under suspicion, as does Anna’s news station rival Lexy Jones (Rebecca Rittenhouse), who is revealed to be living under a false identity. In the final episode, however, the truth is revealed in a major shock: the real killer is Anna’s elderly mother Alice (Crystal Fox). Her motivation is revealed to be deeply personal - while estranged from Anna, Alice poured over old video recordings that Anna made as a teenager and discovered that during Anna’s 16th birthday party, she was raped in the woods while her then-friends Rachel, Helen and Zoe looked on and did nothing. Alice vows to avenge her daughter by killing those women, believing it to be justice. The show had made use of Anna’s voiceover throughout, but in the finale, it is revealed that she is in fact reading her mother’s confession letter, reframing the audience’s perspective entirely. Anna and Jack reconcile and Anna is revealed to be pregnant again as the show ends.
