<i>Your Friends & Neighbors</i> Season 2: Everything We Know
Apple TV+’s newest show, Your Friends & Neighbors, puts Jon Hamm back on the small screen in his first leading TV role since the Emmy-winning series Mad Men, where he portrayed the successful advertising exec Don Draper. Now, Hamm plays Andrew “Coop” Cooper, a flailing hedge-fund manager who begins stealing from his affluent neighbors after he loses his job (and his wife, played by Amanda Peet). While season 1 comes to a close with today’s finale, we’re already anticipating the next one.
Here’s what we know about season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors so far.
Will there be a season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors?Yes! Back in November, before season 1 even premiered, it was announced that Your Friends & Neighbors had already been renewed for another season.
“It’s a wonderful honor,” Hamm told Forbes when asked about the unprecedented move. “It is a tremendous vote of confidence, obviously, and honestly, they’ve never done it before, so we were the first one. It’s a tremendous feather in our cap. It means we’re doing something right.”
The show’s creator and executive producer, Jonathan Tropper, feels the same way. “The support from everyone at Apple has been phenomenal,” he told The Hollywood Reporter, “and the fact that they’ve ordered a second season before we aired our first is an incredible validation and a tribute to the work of this stellar cast, crew, writers, directors and producers who worked so hard to make this show what it is.”
Who is starring in season 2?Jon Hamm is set to return for the second season, along with series regulars Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Gravitt, and Donovan Colan. And according to Deadline, season 2’s cast will expand to include James Marsden, Arienne Mandi, Erin Robinson, and Bre Blair in recurring roles.
Hamm, who also serves as an executive producer, played a huge role in casting some of the show’s bigger names.
“He’s got a pretty good list of contacts in his phone, and any time we needed to get to someone, usually Jon knew them pretty well,” said Tropper. “I wanted to cast Amanda Peet. I wanted to cast Olivia Munn. I don’t think any of that happens if Hamm wasn’t producing the show with me.”
Has production started on season 2?Yes. According to THR, season 2 is currently being filmed.
Not yet, but stay tuned.
