All $2.7 Million Worth of Luxury Goods Jon Hamm Steals on ‘Your Friends & Neighbors'
In 'Your Friends & Neighbors,' Jon Hamm plays a rich guy who remedies a bruising fall in status by robbing the other rich people in his neighborhood. His haul includes cash, a Birkin bag, a Roy Lichtenstein painting and watches that cost as much as luxury cars. As a showcase for specific trappings of wealth, the show gets to have it both ways: It satirizes the quest for evermore, ever-nicer stuff in the privileged class. It also gives viewers some extremely fancy goods to ogle and even covet for themselves.

'Your Friends & Neighbors' Was Already Renewed for Season 2—and James Marsden Is Joining
Apple TV+'s newest show, Your Friends & Neighbors, puts Jon Hamm back on the small screen in his first leading TV role since the Emmy-winning series Mad Men, where he portrayed the successful advertising exec Don Draper. Now, Hamm plays Andrew 'Coop' Cooper, a flailing hedge-fund manager who begins stealing from his affluent neighbors after he loses his job (and his wife, played by Amanda Peet). While season 1 comes to a close with today's finale, we're already anticipating the next one. Here's what we know about season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors so far. Yes! Back in November, before season 1 even premiered, it was announced that Your Friends & Neighbors had already been renewed for another season. 'It's a wonderful honor,' Hamm told Forbes when asked about the unprecedented move. 'It is a tremendous vote of confidence, obviously, and honestly, they've never done it before, so we were the first one. It's a tremendous feather in our cap. It means we're doing something right.' The show's creator and executive producer, Jonathan Tropper, feels the same way. 'The support from everyone at Apple has been phenomenal,' he told The Hollywood Reporter, '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.' Jon Hamm is set to return for the second season, along with series regulars Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Gravitt, and Donovan Colan. And according to Deadline, season 2's cast will expand to include James Marsden, Arienne Mandi, Erin Robinson, and Bre Blair in recurring roles. Hamm, who also serves as an executive producer, played a huge role in casting some of the show's bigger names. 'He's got a pretty good list of contacts in his phone, and any time we needed to get to someone, usually Jon knew them pretty well,' said Tropper. 'I wanted to cast Amanda Peet. I wanted to cast Olivia Munn. I don't think any of that happens if Hamm wasn't producing the show with me.' Yes. According to THR, season 2 is currently being filmed. Not yet, but stay tuned. This story will be updated.

'Your Friends and Neighbors' season finale proves there are no consequences as long as you're rich and look like Jon Hamm
"Your Friends and Neighbors" has been a frustrating watch. I'm always down for streaming a great Apple TV Plus show — but this isn't one. I'm not even sure it's good, but I also haven't been able to turn away. Maybe it's Jon Hamm (it's definitely Jon Hamm) or maybe it's that there's a good show in here somewhere. Maybe it's just that this show is a soap opera masquerading as a prestige TV show, and for all their faults, soap operas are addictive. Whatever the reason, I didn't need much convincing to watch the season finale. Sadly, I found myself just as frustrated with the show's season 1 finale as I had been with the previous eight episodes. Partially, this came down to the fact that "Your Friends and Neighbors," which started as an exploration of a downward spiral, or as Jon Hamm's turn at breaking bad, devolved into a murder mystery, interwoven with a family drama. But it mostly came down to the fact that, by the end of the show, there were no consequences for anyone. The thing that made "Breaking Bad" work was that we wanted to root for Walter White, at least at first. Yes, Bryan Cranston is also an incredible actor, but Walter was a middle-class father who couldn't make ends meet and had just been diagnosed with cancer. Coop, on the other hand, is just a rich asshole. Yes, Jon Hamm is also a great actor, and without him, "Your Friends and Neighbors" probably wouldn't have been greenlit for a season 2. But ultimately, this is a super wealthy guy, ripping off other super wealthy people, and that's not exactly "Robin Hood" or "Breaking Bad." The more frustrating thing is, the show knows this and tries at times to make Coop likable. His relationship with his sister Ali (Lena Hall) is genuinely deep, and I wish the show would explore it further, because it's the best part about his show. In the end, that relationship isn't set aside, but it's almost resolved. While everything in Ali's life isn't fixed at the end of the season, she has real closure on her toxic relationship with her ex and is part of Coop's loving family. In fact, almost every relationship Coop has resolves by the end of the episode. He and his ex-wife, Mel (Amanda Peet), are now amicably divorced. His relationship with his kids is repaired. He just shamed his old boss and hung him out to dry. There are also no consequences for anything he's done this season. He's exonerated of murder because it turned out he was being framed by his booty call, Sam (Olivia Munn). She's reduced to a spurn lover and done a real disservice by this episode, but even she is let off with a slap on the wrist. As Mel says to Coop, it's "like none of this ever happened." The one thing that did happen this season? Coop has decided to become an art thief. Granted, it took an entire season to get here, but it seems that Coop has decided to embrace a life of crime. Which, to be fair, Coop has suffered no long-term consequences after robbing multiple neighbors, so why not keep doing it? The good news is that (hopefully), this can now be the sole focus of season 2. No more murder mystery, no more family drama, just Jon Hamm stealing art from rich people. Plus, one of those rich people in season 2 looks set to be James Marsden, who has been confirmed to join the season 2 main cast. Now, a dark comedy show where Jon Hamm robs James Marsden and it goes horribly wrong? That's a show I'd love to watch. If that's what we get in season 2, then I'll be happy to forget season 1 ever happened and hit play next.
