Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Allison Janney Headed to Apple TV+ Shows

05 MAY 2022 - News of two big names headed to two upcoming shows for Apple TV+. Both stories come compliments of Variety. The first has “Game of Thrones” own Nikolaj Coster-Waldau joining the Jennifer Garner series “The Last Thing He told Me.” The second has “The West Wing’s” Allison Janney joining Kristen Wiig in the series “Mrs. American Pie.”

For “The Last Thing He Told Me,” Variety says:

The show follows Hannah (Garner), a woman who forms an unexpected relationship with her sixteen-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (…) while searching for the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared. Coster-Waldau will star as Owen, Hannah’s husband.

Who has disappeared? It’s probably artsy.

As for “Mrs. American Pie,” Variety says Janney will play Evelyn:

…a full-time Palm Beach resident and member of the high society that Maxine Simmons (Wiig) attempts to secure her place in. Set in the powder keg era of the early ‘70s, the series will follow Maxine… [As] she navigates the line between the haves and the have-nots, the series focuses on questions of who gets a seat at the table and what people will sacrifice to get there.

No word on when either show will make the screen.
