Release Date Speculation for Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2
While Apple TV+ has not announced an official premiere date for Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2, there are promising signs of a relatively quick turnaround. The show was renewed in November 2024, before Season 1 even premiered on April 11, 2025, reflecting Apple’s strong confidence in the series. Filming for Season 2 began just three days after the Season 1 premiere, which suggests a potential release as early as Spring 2026, likely around April or May, aligning with the Season 1 schedule.
Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2 Expected Cast
The core cast of Your Friends and Neighbors is expected to return, with Jon Hamm reprising his role as Andrew “Coop” Cooper, the disgraced hedge fund manager turned thief. Amanda Peet will return as Mel, Coop’s ex-wife, and Olivia Munn as Samantha “Sam” Levitt, Coop’s on-again-off-again lover who played a pivotal role in the Season 1 finale. Other returning cast members likely include:
-
Hoon Lee as Barney Choi, Coop’s friend and business manager
-
Mark Tallman as Nick Brandes
-
Lena Hall as Allison “Ali” Cooper

Aimee Carrero as Elena Benavides

Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2 Potential Plot
Season 1 of Your Friends and Neighbors followed Coop’s descent into crime after losing his job and marriage, culminating in a shocking finale where Sam framed Coop for her husband Paul’s murder, only for it to be revealed as a staged suicide to exploit an insurance clause. Coop, cleared of charges, chose to continue his thieving ways, stealing a coveted Francis Bacon painting in the final moments, setting the stage for a darker, more ambitious Season 2.
Creator Jonathan Tropper has teased that Season 2 will delve deeper into the consequences of Coop’s actions while exploring the independent arcs of Mel and Sam. “It’s darker. It’s more intense,” Tropper told The Hollywood Reporter. The season will focus on the Cooper family dynamics, including Coop’s relationships with his children and his evolving bond with Mel, who may also find herself in trouble. Sam’s storyline will explore her reinvention in the face of public scrutiny and emotional fallout after her actions in Season 1.
