‘Your friends and neighbors’ season 2 Teasers

Spoiler Alert: If you have not viewed the season 1 final of Apple TV +’s “Your Friends & Neighbours”, stop reading-To see no way to see in a million years that you could have seen that storyline closing and you have to go and see it! On the other hand, if you have viewed that shocking conclusion, read on, because we have a number of great season 2 -teasers for you.

On the way to the final, Coop (like brilliantly played by Jon Hamm) was awake in a puddle of blood next to the lifeless body of his neighbor, Paul – who was also the alienated husband of Coop’s frequent prote -call, Sam (Olivia Munn) – and considered taking a plea. Hart-to-heart talks to his children and his ex, Mel (Amanda Peet), kick tears and fear. Terred to lose him, a screaming game bursts out.

In the meantime, evidence shows that two of the three gunshots took place in front of Paul’s body after he was already dead. Coop realizes that Sam used a burner telephone, so that he and Elena (Aimee Carrero) were looking for Sam’s mansion. They find that not only, but also the proof that Paul committed suicide and that Sam Coop encouraged so that she could collect Paul’s considerable life insurance policy.

Munn tells Variety That a small voice in Sam’s head continued to remind her that she managed to climb the social mountain to establish herself as a prestigious figure in high society, so that she could give her children a youth she had never had. A fact of the life that she will not endanger.

“She created a life that she longed deep, and I think they always feared to lose,” says Munn. “In the vicinity of people who attach so much value to the external, that kind of value system really keeps you and, before you know it, you think that way, that way, walking other people on their shoes, their bag, their car, their zip code.”

But she had real feelings for Coop – or so we were led to believe – and yet she framed him for murder? “Yes, she had a failed relationship with Coop, but he is a father, he is a son, he is a friend,” says Munn. “He did not commit murder, and yet she thought it was good to set him up. It’s like what’s happening in it [her] Psyche? I don’t believe that Sam is a bad person. So why would she be so good? “

She rationalizes it in this way: “Some people always try to look for survival and every moment that is offered where you are,” for me to feed my children, pay the utility accounts, buy new clothing for school … “You always keep your eyes open for everything that can be useful for the survival of your family.”

Eventually Coop is cleaned up and Sam is buffered and removed by the police. But because she had not yet claimed Paul’s life insurance money, she cannot be accused of fraud. Her only certain punishment will be those in her community who avoid her.

“The joy of season 2 is that we can explore Sam independently of Coop and give her a new storyline,” says Tropper. “What she has done is something much more opaque and much more complicated to process. And it is not only complicated for her to process, it is complicated for the neighborhood to process. For her, a lot of season 2 is a kind of awakening of:” It’s not yours if you can’t keep it. ” … and so is it how she deals with public control?

Munn says that the biggest lesson that Mel has learned is not dependent on someone other than herself. “Don’t put the weight of your happiness in someone else’s hands,” she says. “If she wants to be this society in this world, it must be on her conditions and on her own two feet. … I want her to realize that this path she went brought her what she wanted for a period of her life, but if she really wants to maintain it, she has to do it herself.”

Based on the end of this season, Coop has not learned anything about right and wrong … And how are often reckless decisions have a wrinkle effect on the people around him?

“Oh, the opposite,” TROPPER insists. “He learned something very essential because when I started writing [the first season]That I wanted Coop to get the keys to his old life at the end. And after everything he has experienced, he is in the office of his old boss who is offered everything he has lost, and in the last few months it can literally just be a bad dream of fever. Now he can have his office back and his wealth and his status, and his future and his financial security. He is offered everything. I think he is actually planning to take it at the time. And at that moment, what you can see is that this is a man who is formed by his experience to the point where he is a much more difficult negotiator. You could almost see that the things he learned to be a bit of a criminal, made him better in what he does in the financial world. “

But for Tropper, he wonders when he was exactly the Epiphany for Coop when he decided that he never wanted to go back to the person he was as a hedge fund manager. “For me that is his real evolution in the season: has he woke up? And although what he does may not be sustainable, he knows that he was back to where he was to trust the system that he now knows that he cannot be trusted, and he cannot trust himself in that system.

And in that lies the endless possibilities to explore for season 2, which became a reality for season 1 that still premiered. What can we expect?

“Coop will never be a criminal kingpin. We don’t go through the Walter White Road,” says Tropper, referring to the drugs of Bryan Cranston about “Breaking Bad”. “So it’s never about building a big criminal company. But what it’s all about is the risk and reward ratio, what is needed to make him feel alive and do what he at least tells in his mind, what is the exit strategy? At the moment we have only caught him what he is practiced at the point where he is practicing not will be, but I don’t think he found out what he is is is going to be. ”

Both women in the life of Coop, Mel and Sam, also go to season 2 on a crossword. There have been nozzle of a dark side of Mel, whether it is about testing a car, beating the living daylight from Sam in a self -defense class or even small theft of a jar of jam. And with her relationship with Nick on the Fritz at the end of the first season, there is much to explore.

“In short, everyone confronts their great void,” Treper explains. “But the void in Mel leads to anger and anger and can be extracted that she has not yet calculated. And for us, season 2 will really dig in that settlement.”

“There is a strange dark part of Mel-Stelen and part of the self-destructive behavior,” says Peet, whose character lost her job as a therapist because of that side of her personality. “She is not the most stable therapist in the world. I think she is probably really afraid to face the music in her own life. I feel that she is blinding without so much intentionality or self -reflection.”

In the core, Peet thinks it comes down to Mel’s unsolved feelings for Coop. “I think she can’t stand that she is still in love with him. She runs away from reality – her own dissatisfaction with what happened in her marriage and her dissatisfaction of Nick.” And “what is lurking under the Placid Suburban Dream” and what will eventually happen to her and Coop is what Peet most intrigues in the coming season.

‘I am very curious what Jonathan [Tropper] Is going to do with those two, “she says.” The other that is interesting is that she has her own kind of dark and transgressive instincts. I think it would be interesting for us to see more of it. … just like shoplifting at the age of 50. It is a very strange part of her that if he wanted to go that way a little more, I would be enthusiastic. “
