Jennifer Garner, 53, reveals Rita Wilson, 69, portrays her mom in “The Last Thing He …”

Jennifer Garner is shedding light on the casting decision to have Rita Wilson play her mom in the upcoming season of “The Last Thing He Told Me.” At 69 years old, Wilson joins the Apple TV series as Garner’s character’s mother, even though in real life, they are quite close in age, only 16 years apart. During a Q&A session at an event in Burbank celebrating the release of Laura Dave’s sequel book, Garner emphasized that in Hollywood, age is often played fast and loose.

In Season 1 of the show, we saw Hannah and her stepdaughter Bailey navigating a mysterious disappearance. Season 2 picks up with a time jump, where Owen, Hannah’s husband, reappears after five years on the run, throwing the family into disarray. This season promises to explore complex emotional dynamics between characters.

Adding to the excitement of Season 2 is the reunion of Judy Greer with Garner, creating a delightful “13 Going on 30” reunion on screen. Both actresses had a blast off-camera while filming in Paris, sharing their adventures on social media. Season 2 of “The Last Thing He Told Me” is set to premiere on Feb. 20 on Apple TV, so mark your calendars for this highly anticipated release!
