What is the plot of Your Friends and Neighbors?
The series begins with Hamm’s Andrew Cooper suffering a dramatic fall from grace. While still grappling with the fallout from his recent divorce, he’s fired in disgrace from his job as a hedge-fund manager. Determined to ensure that he and his family can maintain the luxurious lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed, Cooper resorts to stealing from his neighbors in the exclusive and wealthy upstate community of Westmont Village. But per the series synopsis, he soon discovers that “the secrets and affairs hidden behind those wealthy facades might be more dangerous than he ever imagined.”
The series is created by Jonathan Tropper, who previously created the Cinemax shows Banshee and Warrior.

“I’ve had this show in my head for years, and making it has been a dream come true,” Tropper said in a statement when the renewal was announced. “It’s been an absolute thrill partnering with Hamm, along with [fellow EPs] 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 and a tribute to the work of this stellar cast, crew, writers, directors and producers who worked so hard to make this show what it is. We can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
