Will there be a Season 2 of Your Friends and Neighbors? Renewal status and other details, explored

Your Friends and Neighbors premiered on Apple TV+ in April this year and has since become popular for its compelling story of a hedge fund manager, Andrew “Coop” Cooper, who loses everything and turns to crime to maintain his lavish lifestyle.

The perfect blend of humor and crime drama, along with the strong performances of the cast, kept the audience hooked to the show for nine episodes. Now that the first season has come to an end, fans are wondering if the show will return with more episodes.

Your Friends and Neighbors has officially been renewed for Season 2 by Apple TV+. Production is already underway, with a mix of returning and new cast members.

Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2: Renewal status and potential release date

Apple TV+ showed its faith in Your Friends and Neighbors by giving the show an early Season 2 renewal. The renewal was announced back in November 2024, five months before the first season debuted on television. At the time, series creator Jonathan Tropper thanked Apple TV+ for their support in an official statement and said:

“I’ve had this show in my head for years, and making it has been a dream come true. It’s been an absolute thrill partnering with Jon Hamm, along with Connie Tavel and Craig Gillespie, to bring it to life.”

“The support from everyone at Apple has been phenomenal, and the fact that they’ve ordered a second season before we aired our first is an incredible validation.”

The series creator has also teased that he does not want to follow the trend of recent streaming shows, which take two or more years to return with new seasons. Owing to the early renewal, production on Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2 has already begun, and it is expected to premiere sometime in 2026.

Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2: Potential storyline

The show is expected to continue exploring the crimes of Coop, who steals from his neighbors to maintain his lifestyle in an affluent neighborhood. By the end of the first season, Coop is free and does not have to pay for his crimes.

While the debut installment mostly focused on the lead character, Jonathan Tropper has revealed that Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2 will delve into the lives of other main characters as well. He said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:

“I’m really interested in exploring who Sam is when she’s not in a relationship with Coop; I’m really interested in exploring Mel as something other than Coop’s ex-wife and the mother of his kids.”

“So our priority going into the writers’ room was obviously [still] Coop: How do we take Coop further and how do we continue Coop’s emotional and intellectual journey? And then it was, how do we take our other two leads, Sam and Mel, and explore them as characters going through what they’re going through independent of Coop?”

Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2: Star cast

The second season will feature a mix of returning and new cast members. The actors reprising their roles from the first season include Jon Hamm as Andrew “Coop” Cooper, Amanda Peet as Mel Cooper, Olivia Munn as Samantha “Sam” Levitt, and Lena Hall as Allison “Ali” Cooper.

Other returning actors include Hoon Lee as Barney Choi, Aimee Carrero as Elena, Mark Tallman as Nick Brandes, Isabel Gravitt as Tori Cooper, Donovan Colan as Hunter Cooper, and Eunice Bae as Grace Choi.
