The trailer
Legendary rap artist Dr. Dre once said, “As hard as you work for your money, there are many people working just as hard to take it from you.” You can’t help but get that sense when you see the new trailer for season 2 of Apple’s hit show Your Friends & Neighbors. Jon Hamm returns and, although he’s resorted to stealing for his money, James Marsden‘s new character looks to be throwing a wrench in Hamm’s working machine. Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Gravitt and Donovan Colan also return for this new season.
Your Friends & Neighbors debuted on Apple TV almost a year ago, but before it premiered, the streamer already gave the series a greenlight on season 2. Season 2 premieres on Friday, April 3 and, according to Deadline, Apple TV, once again, preemptively orders new episodes for a season 3. You can check out the season 2 teaser for Your Friends & Neighbors in the embed above.
The show
Created by Jonathan Tropper, Your Friends & Neighbors revolves around Andrew ‘Coop’ Cooper (Hamm), “a hedge fund manager still grappling with his recent divorce who resorts to stealing from the homes of his neighbors in the exceedingly affluent Westmont Village, only to discover that the secrets and affairs hidden behind those wealthy facades might be more dangerous than he ever imagined.” Marsden is believed to be playing a guy who comes from money and has a relationship with Munn’s character.
Our own Alex Maidy enjoyed the first season quite a bit. “Your Friends and Neighbors is a solid series about rich people being assholes and one of their own taking them to task without them even realizing it. This series is a showcase of what Jon Hamm does best,” Maidy wrote. “Jonathan Tropper has taken his excellent ability to create layered characters and put them into a show that is sad, funny, intriguing, and impossible to dislike. He does so without needing battle sequences, gunfights, or post-apocalyptic warriors. He does include a fair amount of sex, something that Your Friends and Neighbors use to great effect. Even if you don’t like this series as much as I did, I have a feeling you will learn something about the retail prices of luxury goods in a way you would never expect.” You can check out the rest of his review on season one right here.
