Apple TV+ drops first-look images and sets the premiere date for the new Jon Hamm-led drama series, which has already been renewed for season 2. The two-time Golden Globe Awards winner is most known for playing the titular creative genius and city playboy, Don Draper, who works as a creative director at Sterling Cooper advertisement firm on the AMC drama series, Mad Men, which ran from 2007 to 2015. After concluding Draper’s turbulent journey in the season 7 finale, Hamm starred in numerous hit television shows and movies, including Good Omens, Top Gun: Maverick, and Black Mirror.
The actor is set to star and executive produce the live-action television series adaptation of the psychological thriller podcast, American Hostage. Hamm’s most recent work includes the ongoing Paramount+ series Landman, created and produced by Taylor Sheridan, where he stars alongside Billy Bob Thorton. Hamm plays Monty Miller, the head of the oil company Thorton’s Tommy Norris represents in his day-to-day business. His next project will see him tap into the role of a morally-grey character once again.

I’ve had this show in my head for years, and making it has been a dream come true. It’s been an absolute thrill partnering with Jon Hamm, along with 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, as well as the 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.
The Mad Men star executive produced the new series alongside Connie Tavel, Craig Gillespie, who directed episodes 1 and 2, and bestselling author Jonathan Tropper, who also serves as showrunner. Hamm plays a recently divorced hedge fund manager, Andrew Cooper, who resorts to stealing from his wealthy neighbors’ homes after being fired. The series stars Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Marie Gravitt, and Donovan Colman, and promises to reveal the secrets and affairs hidden behind closed doors.
Our Take On Your Friends & Neighbors
Jon Hamm Is The Perfect Andrew Cooper
Being renewed ahead of the show’s premiere is a strong indicator of the streamer’s faith in the new Jon Hamm-led series. Andrew Cooper is juggling a lot in both his professional life and personal life, which mirrors the complications Don Draper faces in Mad Men. The series teases high-stakes action, secrets, affairs, and comedy with a heist-oriented plot.

Jon Hamm continues a trend by joining Demi Moore, Billy Bob Thornton, and other acting greats for Taylor Sheridan’s Texas-set Yellowstone follow-up.
Hamm is perfect for bringing out the struggle, stress, and strength within a character. His performance in Mad Men and Landman shows the contrast the actor is capable of bringing out. On top of that, Your Friends & Neighbors also explores a comedic side of Hamm that’s less explored but shows a lot of potential. Needless to say, Hamm’s new project already sounds like a must-watch for Jon Hamm and Mad Men fans.
