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.

Netflix's new No. 1 K-drama flops at home, has zero Rotten Tomatoes, but beats Weak Hero 2 and Resident Playbook in just one day
Kang Ha Neul and Go Min Si's new K-drama Tastefully Yours debuted with an underwhelming rating in the domestic market, disappointing local fans of the Squid Game star who expected the new culinary romance show to be the next Business Proposal. But while that didn't happen, Netflix made the K-drama a huge hit, just two days in and two episodes out. The show has dethroned some of the reigning shows that dominated the non-English chart for days, including Weak Hero 2, Resident Playbook, and more. Also Read: Tastefully Yours first impression: Weirdly addictive duo Go Min Si, Kang Ha Neul cook up quirky kitchen romance in Netflix's new-age Business Proposal On May 15, according to streaming data released by FlixPatrol, Tastefully Yours climbed to the second position among the most-watched shows globally, after Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar's The Royals, which has held the number one spot for a while now. According to K-media outlet Wikitree, Go Min Si's K-drama conquered the top spots in around 23 countries on the day after its premiere. However, in Korea, the show debuted with a poor 1.6% rating, far below and less than half of The Recruit 3, which ended its run in the same time slot. However, according to trends, the second episode of Tastefully Yours did record a rise in ratings but still remained below average. Also Read: Weak Hero class 2 review: A manhwa misfire, but Park Ji Hoon and Ryeo Un outweigh the flaws of Netflix's rushed adaptation Surprisingly, Go Youn Jung and Jung Jun Won's medical K-drama Resident Playbook, which is a spinoff of the popular show Hospital Playlist, is nowhere to be found in the top 10 list. The show is scheduled to premiere its finale episode on May 17, with a possible extended episode in the works. Park Ji Hoon's Weak Hero Class 2 also lost its hold. Son Suk Ku's Heavenly Ever After dropped to the number 10 position. The K-drama has been received well by both domestic and global audiences. This is not the first time a particular show has failed to impress its domestic audience. Since the K-drama industry has started directly dealing with global platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Disney, and Netflix, the hold of cable networks has seen a massive drop, thus resulting in poor promotions and failing to attract viewers. One of the major reasons behind the tanking domestic popularity is that K-netizens feel the dramas have seen massive westernisation and have deflected from traditional Korean ideals. The K-drama stars Han Beom Woo (Kang Ha Neul) and Han Sun Woo (Bae Na Ra) as brothers who turn into rivals, each trying to secure the chairman's seat, as their mother plans to hand over her multi-million dollar food corporation to the son who brings in their first 3-star rating at their respective diners. Kang's character goes to lengths, threatening local vendors, clashing with chefs, and even trying to steal a recipe from Mo Yeon Joo's (Go Min Si) restaurant, after noticing a similarity between one of his dishes and hers. Though both of them were different, he instantly got humbled after eating her version and started dreaming of reclaiming his restaurant after investing in hers, only to then deal with his brother who played smart and landed him in trouble. The Netflix synopsis of the show reads, 'Driven to claim top culinary honors, an arrogant heir meets a low-profile but stubborn chef whose recipes astonish him — sparking an unlikely romance.'

2025 best picture winner 'Anora' dominates Hulu charts after Oscar victory
Sean Baker's 'Anora', the 2025 Best Picture Oscar winner, is making waves again—this time on Hulu. The high-stakes screwball comedy, which won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing, along with Mikey Madison's Best Actress win, has quickly risen through the streaming platform's charts. Baker, known for his raw, neorealist filmmaking, has long been celebrated for highlighting America's overlooked and underprivileged. While 'Tangerine' (2015), 'The Florida Project' (2017), and 'Red Rocket' (2021) cemented his status as an indie powerhouse, 'Anora' marked his mainstream breakthrough. The film follows Mikey Madison's Ani, an erotic dancer and sex worker in New York City who becomes entangled in a whirlwind romance with Ivan Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of Russian billionaires. Their dynamic takes a turn when Ivan's oligarch parents attempt to annul the marriage, sparking a tense and chaotic chase—one that plays out with Safdie brothers-style energy. A box office success, 'Anora' grossed $52 million against a $6 million budget after its theatrical release in October 2024. It later topped iTunes charts in multiple countries before making its Hulu debut on March 17, 2025. According to FlixPatrol, the film entered Hulu's streaming rankings at No. 4, with projections suggesting it will climb even higher. To claim the top spot, 'Anora' will need to surpass Bill Burr's standup special 'Drop Dead Years' and 'Force of Nature: The Dry 2', but its Oscar prestige and strong audience interest give it a clear advantage. With Hulu's viewership surge, 'Anora' solidifies Baker's rise in Hollywood, proving that his unique storytelling and focus on marginalized voices continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
