Apple TV’s 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). Season 1 came to a close in May 2025, and 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 2024, before season 1 even premiered, it was announced that Your Friends & Neighbors had already been renewed for season 2.
“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.”
What will season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors be about?
Here’s the official synopsis, per Apple TV:
In season two, Andrew Cooper doubles down on his life as an unlikely suburban thief, until the arrival of a new neighbor threatens to expose his secrets and place his family at risk.
In a post-season 1 interview with The Wrap, both Tropper and Hamm reflected on the finale, with Tropper saying there is “an element of wish fulfillment” in Coop’s decision to return to his old job.
“I knew that last scene from the minute I wrote the pilot,” Tropper said. “The impulse probably all of us would [feel] would be to take the job back. It’s like, ‘I won. They came begging. I wrote a new deal. I had this little crazy adventure in the interim, and now I’m ready to go back and take what’s mine.’ But to me the lesson Coop is learning is, ‘I can’t ever trust the machine again.’”
He continued, “The goal of this [show] is that it’s about a man who’s being liberated from the script he’s been following his whole life. If, in the end, the victory was, ‘I got my job back,’ I think it would be a Pyrrhic victory. The real victory is being liberated from this system, and that’s what I think, over the course of a number of seasons, we want to do.”
Hamm agreed, adding, “I do think that ship [of hedge fund work] has sailed for him. I think he has found himself sort of weirdly empowered to be the master of his own domain, so to speak—not to use that ‘Seinfeld’ reference lightly. Coop realizes that he is in charge of his own destiny.”
In season 2, Tropper says the situation will be obviously more complicated for Coop.
“What Coop is doing isn’t particularly sustainable. You can’t pay college tuition with bags of cash,” Tropper shared. “The more Coop does what he’s doing, the more he’s exposed to a different element who might be a little better at this than him or more dangerous than he is.”
He continued, “Part of [his journey] is going to force Coop into contact with the old hedge fund world again. But not in a way that you would expect.”
Who is in the season 2 cast?
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.”
Season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors will premiere on Apple TV on Friday, Apr. 3, 2026, and new episodes will drop weekly through Friday, June 5, 2026.
