James Marsden Joining ‘Your Friends And Neighbors’ For Season 2

James Marsden is becoming the nicest kid in town as he is now officially joining the cast of Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2.

Apple TV+ announced on Tuesday that the actor, known for his recent role in Hulu’s Paradise, will be joining the cast of the second season of a new drama created by Jon Hamm and Jonathan Tropper. The first season of the show has just premiered its first two episodes on the streaming platform last Friday.

The series revolves around Andrew “Coop” Cooper, played by Hamm, a disgraced hedge fund manager in Westmont Village, New York, who resorts to stealing from his affluent neighbors to maintain his lavish lifestyle for himself and his children. Despite the recent debut of the show, Apple TV+ gave the green light for a second season in November, and filming for Season 2 is already underway.

Marsden took to Instagram to confirm his participation in the show by posting a screenshot of a Deadline article announcing the news, accompanied by the caption “there goes the neighborhood” and an enthusiastic emoji.

It’s been a busy few months for the Hairspray actor, who also premiered Sonic the Hedgehog 3 alongside Keanu Reeves, Ben Schwartz, Krysten Ritter, and Jim Carrey in December, and was more recently announced to be returning for Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday. His role in the latter film has not been confirmed but is almost certainly a return to his X-Men character, Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops, from the FOX films of the early 2000s.

As for his part in Your Friends and Neighbors, details of Marsden’s role are being kept under wraps at this time, although Decider can confirm he will be a series regular. It’s an exciting update for the cast and crew who are already hard at work on giving the world more episodes.

In March, Decider sat down with Hamm to talk about the show and asked about the early Season 2 renewal, which he said is an honor and something the entire cast and the producing team do not take for granted.

“The fact that we have a second season might lead you to believe that everything works out for Coop okay,” he explained. “It’s a great honor to be picked up so early in the existence of the show, it says a lot. It’s the first time Apple has really done that. It definitely is a feather in our cap and also a nod to the fact that we completed our assignment in a very compelling way.”

Season 2 of Your Friends and Neighbors is expected to hit Apple TV+ in 2026. In the meantime, check out the first two episodes of Your Friends and Neighbors Season 1, which are currently streaming on Apple TV+. New episodes release Fridays.
