According to Deadline, the second season of Your Friends & Neighbors will start production three days after season one premieres, which will be mid-April. If the first season fares well with the audience, they most likely won't have to wait long for the second season.


About Your Friends & Neighbors

Your Friends & Neighbors follows a New York hedge fund manager, Andrew Cooper, going through a divorce. To make matters worse, he gets fired, quite out of the blue. However, he is someone who has gotten used to his lavish lifestyle. So what does he do? Fitting to the title of the show, Your Friends & Neighbors, he steals from his 'friends and neighbors.'

It is not the first time we see a man steal out of desperation. But what he finds are not just Hermès bags and expensive jewelry; it's also secrets. Andrew finds out some secrets about his friends and neighbors he never thought he would while dealing with family and divorce issues.

Jon Hamm, known for Mad Men, stars as the protagonist of Your Friends & Neighbors, Andrew Cooper. Hamm was a crucial part of the casting, as Jonathan Tropper told Deadline,

“I started writing it as a novel once, got about 100 pages in, and I don’t know, got busy and didn’t do it. And once the show crystallized for me, the problem was it was a very specific character to me. And looking out at the landscape, the only actor I saw that I felt could really do it in a way that I thought would be true to what I was trying to do, was Jon [Hamm]. The problem was I didn’t know him, so I got my agent to set up a lunch — in retrospect, it was kind of a ballsy move, but I just said, ‘Let’s do a lunch.’ I pitched him the idea, and once I saw his interest in the idea, I went home to write the pilot. At that point, you know, he became that voice in my head. That was the character.”

Andrew Cooper, the narrator of Your Friends and Neighbors, is one of the most important characters. However, he wouldn't be complete without his wife, Mel Cooper, played by Amanda Peet, and his children, Tori and Hunter Cooper, played by Isabel Gravitt and Donovan Colan, respectively. The cast of Your Friends & Neighbors has admitted how necessary it was for them to form a good off-screen bond in order to play a family on-screen.

It is rare for a show to be renewed for a second season before the first even airs. However, the trailer of Your Friends & Neighbors looks promising. Apple TV has been receiving praise with its shows like Severance and The Studio, and Your Friends & Neighbors might just become another success.

Your Friends and Neighbors will be released on Apple TV+ with a double-episode premiere on 11th April 2025. New episodes will be released every Friday till 30th May 2025.
