Jon Hamm made a striking appearance at the New York City premiere of his new series, "Your Friends and Neighbors," on April 8, 2025, where he celebrated not only the show’s launch but also the birthday of his wife, Anna Osceola. The couple, who have been together since 2020 and married since June 2023, were a picture of elegance on the red carpet, joined by an ensemble cast that includes Olivia Munn, Amanda Peet, and Hoon Lee.
The series, which is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on April 11, 2025, follows Hamm’s character, Andrew “Coop” Cooper, a hedge fund manager who, after being fired, turns to stealing from his wealthy neighbors in the affluent Westmont Village. The show delves into themes of desperation and the hidden dangers lurking behind the facades of wealth.
Hamm, who also serves as an executive producer on the series, is excited about the project and shared his thoughts on hosting "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) for the fourth time. He arrived at the premiere straight from writer meetings for the show, indicating a busy schedule. "I had to come from the writer meetings and come here… I have to go from this to dinner with Lorne [Michaels] and the cast, and then I come back here and it's my wife's birthday tonight... It’s a busy couple of days," he remarked.
As for his upcoming SNL hosting duties, Hamm expressed enthusiasm about the new cast, stating, "It's a cast that I've worked with, but I'm not super familiar with them. You know, I'm a fan of the show as much as anybody. I watch it every week. So, I'm looking forward to playing and having fun." The musical guest for the episode will be Lizzo, whom Hamm praised for her talent and charm, recalling, "I've seen her before. I was there when she did the show with Eddie Murphy. I love her work. She's a lovely person and funny."
In "Your Friends and Neighbors," Hamm's character finds himself in morally ambiguous situations, resorting to petty theft after losing everything. Reflecting on his role, Hamm shared a humorous confession about his childhood, admitting, "I was a big candy thief. I would go to 7-Eleven or the gas stations or whatever and just whatever was on the bottom row was like, it was usually like Atomic Fireballs and Bazooka gum. So, I wasn't going to break the bank."
The premiere event was not just a showcase for Hamm but also a celebration of the collaborative efforts that brought the series to life. The show is created by Jonathan Tropper, who serves as showrunner and director, alongside Hamm and other executive producers, including Connie Tavel and Craig Gillespie, who directed the first two episodes.
"Your Friends and Neighbors" has already been renewed for a second season, a testament to the anticipation surrounding its release. The first season will consist of nine episodes, with the first two episodes debuting simultaneously, followed by weekly releases through May 30, 2025.
Hamm and Osceola’s relationship has blossomed since they first met on the set of "Mad Men" in 2015, where Osceola had a brief appearance. Their relationship remained under the radar until they were spotted together in 2020, sparking dating rumors. By 2022, they were publicly attending events together, and their engagement was confirmed in early 2023.
Despite their fame, the couple prefers to keep their personal life private, opting to avoid social media and public scrutiny. Hamm has previously commented on the challenges of being in a relationship with another actor, stating, "The funny thing about this career is that there’s no rule book. You really have to lean on one another for their support and for any kind of advice."
The premiere at the Directors Guild of America was a star-studded affair, showcasing not only the talent involved in the series but also the strong camaraderie among cast members. Alongside Hamm and Osceola, attendees included Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, and several other actors who make up the ensemble cast.
As the world anticipates the debut of "Your Friends and Neighbors," Hamm’s dual role as both star and producer highlights his commitment to the project and his enthusiasm for storytelling. The series promises to explore the complexities of human relationships within the context of wealth and ambition, setting the stage for engaging drama.
