Jon Hamm’s Crime Series Roars Back With 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, Becomes a U.S. Streaming Hit

Jon Hamm is back front and center on Apple TV with a dark, funny crime drama that just dropped its second season, and the numbers say people showed up.

The quick hits

• Season 2 of 'Your Friends & Neighbors' premiered April 3 with a single episode, 'We're Here Until We're Not' (Season 1 launched in 2025 with two episodes on day one).
• Per FlixPatrol, the show jumped to No. 2 among TV titles on Apple TV, trailing only 'Shrinking,' which wrapped its third season this week.
• Critics are into it: Season 1 has a 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Season 2 is sitting at 88%.
• Apple has already greenlit Season 3.

Hamm staying busy is not exactly a plot twist. He anchored 'Mad Men' from 2007 to 2015, snagging a Primetime Emmy and two Golden Globes along the way, popped up in 'Fargo' (2013–2024 would be impressive, but yes, that was a typo elsewhere — he was there 2023 to 2024), and took a major role in Taylor Sheridan's 'Landman ' from 2024 to 2025. Now he is back leading his own thing again, and audiences are clearly into the return.

If you need a refresher on 'Your Friends & Neighbors' Season 1: we meet Coop (Hamm), a New York hedge fund guy who gets fired but refuses to downgrade his lifestyle. His solution is... not great: he starts robbing his ultra-rich neighbors, assuming they will not notice because, well, they are ultra-rich. Naturally, that spirals. The finale goes full dark-comedy chaos: Coop slips in a dead man's blood during a break-in and ends up charged with murder. The twist? The victim, Paul, died by suicide, and his wife ditched the note and staged the scene to look like an execution. That revelation clears Coop. His old firm then tries to lure him back, but he decides crime pays better for him and caps the season by lifting a painting from his former boss before moving on.

Season 2 picks up with Coop still pulling heists to keep the luxe life humming — which is exactly as sustainable as you think. Someone new figures out what he is been up to, the lies stack up again, and the fallout starts to snowball. It is the kind of slick, morally messy sandbox Hamm can play in all day.

As for why the show is spiking now: launching with one episode instead of two feels like a smart slow-burn move, and the numbers suggest people are not just checking out the new season — they are also catching up on Season 1.

"We're Here Until We're Not"

Bottom line: with stronger reviews, a top-tier chart position behind only 'Shrinking,' and a third season already locked, 'Your Friends & Neighbors' is not just back — it looks like it is leveling up.
