When The Last Thing He Told Me ended, we were left with more questions than answers. Owen vanished. Hannah protected Bailey. And somewhere in the quiet aftermath, a new kind of family began to form—one built on secrets, survival, and reluctant trust.
But five years later, the story isn’t over.
Author Laura Dave returns with The First Time I Saw Him, a sequel novel arriving January 6, 2026, that picks up where the silence left off. Owen reappears—unexpectedly, dangerously—at Hannah’s art exhibition. And just like that, the life she built begins to unravel.
🎬 Apple TV+ Is Bringing It Back
Jennifer Garner reprises her role as Hannah Hall in Season 2, set to stream in late 2025. With Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Angourie Rice returning, the new season dives deeper into the emotional terrain of what happens after the truth comes out—and what happens when it doesn’t.
Expect more tension, more tenderness, and a new layer of mystery that asks: Can you ever really start over if the past won’t let go?
💔 Closure Isn’t the End—It’s the Beginning
This sequel isn’t just a continuation—it’s a confrontation. Of memory. Of identity. Of the stories we tell ourselves to survive. And with Judy Greer joining the cast, there’s a hint of nostalgia, too—a reminder that even in the darkest plots, there’s room for light.
