Friends and Neighbors
New ReleaseA series that makes you look through your fingers at wealthy neighbors and secretly wish they would be robbed again.
Apple TV+ launched one of the year's most unexpected hits in April 2025 — "Friends and Neighbors," where Wall Street meets crime in perfect suburban settings. The premiere on April 11 introduces viewers to Andrew Cooper, a financial titan who, after a divorce and being fired, begins robbing wealthy neighbors to maintain his accustomed lifestyle.
The series is created by Jonathan Tropper ("Banshee," "Warriors") and works on the contrast between the perfect facades of the elite community of Westmont and the dirty secrets behind closed doors. The tone oscillates between the tragicomedy of loneliness and a tense thriller: each robbery unveils a new layer of lies, betrayals, and sexual intrigues among neighbors. The two-season format (19 episodes) allows the story to unfold from impulsive thefts to systematic criminal thinking.
If you watched "Succession" and appreciated its dissection of the American dream, or "Billions" for its financial intrigues — "Friends and Neighbors" will offer a similar tone of cynical views on the wealthy. For comparison with other series about the masks of idyllic life, watch "Desperate Housewives" or "Big Little Lies," where bodies are also hidden under the rugs.
The second season concluded the main story arc, and there has been no announcement regarding a third season yet.
