Britta DeVore is a Senior Author for Collider who has been known to dabble with Reality News as well.

Have you seen stories about 'Chucky,' 'Scream,' 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' 'The Boys,' 'Vanderpump Rules,' or any of 'The Real Housewives' franchises? That's probably a Britta DeVore-curated piece of art, and it sounds like you have great taste.

When she isn't sitting behind her laptop bringing readers her hot takes on upcoming projects or keeping the dream alive in the Senior News team, Britta can usually be found outside hiking or inside behind her drum set. She currently plays in two bands, Kid Midnight and Watergate, both based in Brooklyn. An obsessive traveler, Britta loves long road trips to the South West and has a soft spot in her heart for canyons, rivers, and forests.

She also has a tiny cat named Athena that she loves more than anything else in the world and is always happy for new brewery recs.

Apple TV has been churning out some very intriguing and praise-worthy productions as of late with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The network is still riding high off a successful award season and will soon be adding a slew of new titles to its already bulked-up catalogue. While audiences await new arrivals, like the psychological thriller Imperfect Women and espionage drama Lucky, they can sink their teeth into the freshly dropped second season of the action-heavy Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Season 3 of the fan-favorite comedy series Shrinking.

And then there’s the platform’s tight-knit working relationship with Reese Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine. With a natural knack for bringing stories to the big screen (especially when they started out as books), the business has been busy churning out one hit after the next. For starters, they’re the folks behind Witherspoon’s award-winning drama, The Morning Show, and are also backing numerous other projects for the streaming service, including the Gugu Mbatha-Raw-led Surface, Nichelle Tramble Spellman’s legal thriller Truth Be Told, and the upcoming Anya Taylor-Joy fronted Lucky. To put it lightly — Hello Sunshine is in the business of making fan-favorite projects that keep audiences coming back for more.

Most recently, Hello Sunshine welcomed the second season of the Jennifer Garner-led mystery thriller, The Last Thing He Told Me, which, according to FlixPatrol, is enjoying a Top 10 takeover on Apple TV’s global charts. Featuring leading performances from Garner, Angourie Rice (Mare of Easttown) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones), the debut season introduced viewers to Hannah Hall (Garner), who, along with her stepdaughter (Rice), is searching for her missing husband (Coster-Waldau). Now moving into its second season, the tale is as filled with schemes and secrets as ever as Hannah and her stepdaughter attempt to move past the events of Season 1 while staying both safe and sane.

‘The Last Thing He Told Me’s Top 10 Takeover

Since the show’s return in late February after nearly three years away, audiences around the globe have been tuning in to see where the tangled web of deceit will carry the main characters next. Steadily climbing up the studio’s Top 10 list, The Last Thing He Told Me currently holds the fifth position, sitting behind other favorites like Tehran, Shrinking, Hijack, and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Should it continue its success, there’s a solid chance that the thriller will be renewed for a third season, although we hope it doesn’t take another three years to come out.

The Last Thing He Told Me is now streaming on Apple TV.
