Cupertino, Calif.—What if you were a wealthy, successful Wall Street type who suddenly discovers you no longer have the money to keep up with your wealthy neighbors?

Well, one option would be to start stealing from them.

In the new Apple TV+ series “Your Friends & Neighbors,” Andrew (Coop) Cooper, played by “The Morning Show” and “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm, gets fired from his job as a hedge fund manager.

He quickly finds out he only has enough money to get through the next six months, so he embarks on a new career—semi-professional jewel thief.

Cooper begins breaking into the homes of his ultra-wealthy neighbors to steal jewelry, luxury handbags, and art in order to pawn them for cash, all the while becoming privy to his neighbors’ affairs and secrets.

Watch the Trailer for “Your Friends & Neighbors” 

Set in the fictional town of Westmont Village in Westchester County, New York, the series also stars Oliva Munn, Amanda Peet, Hoon Lee, and Lena Hall.

Hamm executive produced “Your Friends & Neighbors” alongside novelist, screenwriter, and producer Jonathan Tropper, author of “This Is Where I Leave You” and “One Last Thing Before I Go.”

The first two episodes of the dark comedy dropped Friday on Apple TV+. One new episode will stream every week through May 30.

The first season is nine episodes in total, and Apple has picked up the series for a second season.
