Jon Hamm will return as Andrew “Coop” Cooper in a third season of the comedy-drama Your Friends & Neighbors. Apple TV+ has renewed the show a full two months before Season 2 even premieres. This quick renewal is similar to what happened in late 2024, when the show was ordered for a second season before the first season had aired.
After a successful first season that MovieWeb called a fun and engaging crime story, the new episodes of Your Friends & Neighbors see Cooper getting even more involved in his criminal life. But his world is turned upside down when a new neighbor, played by James Marsden (known for his role in Avengers: Doomsday), starts to uncover his secrets. The series, created by Jonathan Tropper, also stars Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Lena Hall, and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson. Episodes were directed by a team including Craig Gillespie (Supergirl), Stephanie Laing (Eastbound & Down), and Greg Yaitanes (House).
According to Deadline, Tropper explained that the quick pace between seasons was something to look forward to.
As a fan, I’m thrilled everyone’s returning for Season 2! The quick renewal is a huge win because it means we get the same fantastic team – the actors, the crew, everyone – back together. We can really build on what worked in Season 1. I think it’s smart to not mess with the formula too much; I want Season 2 to feel like a comfortable revisit for those who loved the first season. But of course, we also need to raise the stakes and push our characters in new and unexpected ways. It’s all about finding that balance!
‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ Stablemate Also Gets Early Renewal
Apple TV+ is unusual in how quickly it renews its popular shows. For example, even before the third season of the comedy Shrinking became available, it was confirmed to have a future. The streaming service seems confident in certain shows, giving them the go-ahead for new seasons without waiting for ratings or audience feedback. Other shows benefiting from this approach include the spy thriller Slow Horses, the sci-fi series Silo, and the legal drama Presumed Innocent.
