Apple TV+ won’t release its Jon Hamm-led drama Your Friends & Neighbors for several months, but it’s ready to get going on a second season of the series.
The streamer has renewed the drama for a second season, while also setting a premiere date and offering up a first look at the inaugural run. The nine-episode first season of Your Friends & Neighbors will premiere on April 11.
Hamm, who’s also an executive producer, stars as Andrew “Coop” Cooper, a hedge fund manager who’s recently been fired in disgrace from his job and is coming to terms with a recent divorce. He 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.

In creating the nine-episode first season of “First Wives Club,” Tracy Oliver had a solid starting point: the 1996 feature film of the same name. The source material centered on three friends who banded together after the death of a fourth to get revenge on the cheating men in their lives; it was rooted in some very real pain, but also consisted of comedic hijinks — a sensibility Oliver says is her own.
“I love a raunchy set piece, but I also love writing with heart and staying grounded,” Oliver says.
Her “First Wives Club” explores three distinct looks at marriages gone sour, from Ari (Ryan Michelle Bathe) and David (Mark Tallman), who look great on paper but haven’t been truly connecting well, to Bree (Michelle Buteau) and Gary (RonReaco Lee), who separate after he cheats, to Hazel (Jill Scott) and Derek (Malik Yoba), who also separate due to his infidelity...
