Jon Hamm's Apple TV+ Dramedy Is a Massive Hit. Here's How to Stream the Finale
Former hedge fund dude Coop (Jon Hamm) is about to face the music. After eight episodes of stealing, lying, and generally falling into all sorts of catastrophes, the comedy-drama of Your Friends & Neighbors is about to release its final episode. Will Coop find his way out of the financial chaos he's caused for himself? Will he be convicted of murder? Will he be able to fix the messed-up relationship he has with his family? Will this final episode end on a note of sorrow, or one of accidental optimism? And most importantly: Who killed Paul? Your Friends & Neighbors is one of the sleeper hits of the past few months, and according to various metrics, including FlixPatrol, the series is currently Apple's most-watched original series. Here's what to know about the finale of Your Friends & Neighbors, including release date, streaming time, and what might happen with the plot. No major spoilers ahead. The 9th and final episode of Your Friends & Neighbors Season 1 is called "Everything Becomes Symbol and Irony," and will hit Apple TV+ on Friday, May 30. The title of the episode seems to refer to a voiceover monologue that Hamm's character, Coop, had in the very first Apple TV+ originals tend to release new episodes on Fridays at 12:00 a.m. ET. This means that, yes, often, new episodes will hit at 9:00 p.m. PT. Between Thursday, May 29, and Friday morning, May 30, you'll be able to stream the Your Friends & Neighbors finale, "Everything Becomes Symbol and Irony." Essentially, at this point, none of Coop's old rich-person friends are fully aware of all of his crimes, petty or otherwise. This means the finale will have to reveal to what extent Coop will be caught for all of his robberies. But, more importantly, it will have to reveal who killed Paul (Jordan Gelber), the ex-husband of Sam (Olivia Munn), who has had an on-again, off-again romance with Coop throughout the show. The show is already renewed for Season 2, so it's very possible that not every single mystery will be answered, and that even if we do discover the identity of Paul's killer, it may just set us all up for even more Hamm's Apple TV+ Dramedy Is a Massive Hit.
