Everything to Know About 'Your Friends and Neighbors,' Jon Hamm's New TV Show

Many may know him as Don Draper thanks to his legendary Mad Men performance, but now it's time to meet actor Jon Hamm's newest character: Andrew "Coop" Cooper.

Your Friends and Neighbors, Apple TV+'s upcoming drama series, follows Hamm in a leading role, where his character hinges between a true protagonist and complex anti-hero. Set to premiere on April 11, the nine-episode debut season is already gaining traction online. Plus, it received an early renewal, securing a second season before Season 1 even dropped—positioning it as a potential instant hit for Apple TV+.

Scroll on for all the details to know ahead of the TV show's premiere, including key plot details, actors to know in the show, and reasons to watch it.

The Plot

In Your Friends and Neighbors, Hamm takes on the role of a disgraced hedge fund manager whose once-glamorous life has taken a steep nosedive. After being fired in scandalous disgrace and dealing with the fallout of a painful divorce, he finds himself desperate and struggling to maintain his lifestyle. In a moment of desperation, he turns to robbing the luxurious homes of his ultra-wealthy neighbors in Westmont Village. However, what starts as a survival tactic quickly escalates into something far more dangerous as he uncovers dark secrets, illicit affairs, and hidden dangers lurking behind the pristine doors of this exclusive community.

The Cast

Beyond Hamm’s leading role, the show boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Olivia Munn, known for her work on The Newsroom and X-Men: Apocalypse. Amanda Peet is another leading lady in the show, previously starring in the film Something's Gotta Give and the TV series Dirty John. Hoon Lee also joins the cast with a few TV shows under his sleeve, known for his roles in Warrior and Banshee. 

Jonathan Tropper, known for his work on Banshee and Warrior, serves as the director. He is bringing his signature blend of action, tension, and deep character exploration to the series. Tropper is also known for his six published novels. Given the director's track record, viewers can expect a show filled with psychological intrigue, high-stakes drama, and unexpected twists.

Why You Should Watch Your Friends and Neighbors

With a blend of crime and psychological suspense, Your Friends and Neighbors promises to be an enthralling watch. Hamm, best known for his Emmy-winning performance as Don Draper in Mad Men, thrives in complex, morally ambiguous roles, and this show appears to give him another opportunity to shine. While it’s not uncommon for streaming platforms to renew a series early, it’s a rare vote of confidence when a show is greenlit for a second season before audiences have even seen the first. Apple TV+ clearly sees Your Friends and Neighbors as a major investment, signaling that the story is packed with enough gripping drama to sustain multiple seasons.

Mark your calendars for April 11, because Your Friends and Neighbors is sure to have everyone talking.
