Apple TV+ has announced the April 3 premiere of Your Friends & Neighbors season 2, starring Jon Hamm, with James Marsden joining the cast as a new neighbor who threatens to expose Hamm's suburban thief lifestyle. The streaming service has also confirmed a third season renewal.
Apple TV+ has announced that Your Friends & Neighbors, one of its biggest hits from 2025, will return for season 2 on Friday, April 3, with the first episode followed by weekly releases through June 5. The streaming service has also confirmed that season 3 is already in development, with showrunner Jonathan Tropper returning.
Unlike many Apple TV+ series that face lengthy production delays between seasons, the streaming service is delivering Your Friends & Neighbors season 2 in under a year—a notably quick turnaround that should please fans of the Jon Hamm-led series.
James Marsden Joins as New Neighbor
The season 2 trailer, released alongside the premiere announcement, introduces a significant cast addition: James Marsden as a new member of the neighborhood. His character appears to be central to the season's conflict, as the official synopsis reveals:
"In season two, Andrew Cooper doubles down on his life as an unlikely suburban thief, until the arrival of a new neighbor threatens to expose his secrets and place his family at risk."
This setup suggests season 2 will explore the tension between Hamm's character maintaining his double life and the new threat posed by Marsden's arrival. The trailer hints at increased stakes and complications for the suburban thief storyline that made season 1 compelling.
Quick Return and Early Renewal
The early renewal for season 3 is particularly noteworthy. Apple TV+ has historically been cautious with renewals, often waiting to see viewership data before committing to additional seasons. The fact that Your Friends & Neighbors has already secured a third season suggests Apple has high confidence in the series' performance and audience engagement.
This strategy of early renewal followed by a relatively quick production turnaround could become a model for Apple TV+ moving forward, addressing one of the common criticisms of streaming services: the long waits between seasons that can cause viewers to lose interest or forget plot details.
Where to Watch
Viewers can catch up on the full first season of Your Friends & Neighbors now on Apple TV+. The service is available for $12.99 per month, or subscribers can access it through the Apple One bundle at a discounted rate.
Apple TV+ continues to build its library of original content, competing with other streaming services by focusing on quality over quantity and attracting high-profile talent like Jon Hamm and James Marsden to its platform.
The April 3 premiere date positions Your Friends & Neighbors season 2 as a spring highlight for Apple TV+, joining other returning series and new releases in the streaming service's 2026 lineup.
