Game of Thrones star joins Jennifer Garner in mystery drama show

Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has signed up for his next project.

The actor, who played Jaime Lannister in the series, will join Jennifer Garner in Apple TV+’s The Last Thing He Told Me.

The show, based on the novel by Laura Dave, follows “Hannah (Garner), a woman who forms an unexpected relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Mare of Easttown and Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s Angourie Rice) while searching for the truth about why her husband (Coster-Waldau) has mysteriously disappeared,” according to Apple TV+.

Dave has adapted her novel for the screen alongside her husband Josh Singer, who won an Oscar for his screenplay for 2015 film Spotlight.

As well as playing the role of Hannah, Garner will also executive produce the series, alongside Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine, Witherspoon’s production company. The series will be directed by Olivia Newman, who will also executive produce.

Since Game of Thrones ended in 2019, Coster-Waldau has kept busy, starring in several films including Domino and Against the Ice, as well as signing up for a TV adaptation of A Second Home by Christina Clancy.
