‘Your Friends And Neighbors’ Showrunner Jonathan Tropper On Jon Hamm’s Lovable Thief Role, “Darker” Season 2 & New ‘Star Wars’ Project


‘Your Friends And Neighbors’ Showrunner Jonathan Tropper Talks Jon Hamm’s Lovable Rogue Role, “Darker” Season 2 Plans & New ‘Star Wars’ Project

Disenfranchised with the materialistic world he’d bought into, his wife ( Amanda Peet) has left him for his best friend ( Mark Tallman), and his burgeoning relationship with Sam ( Olivia Munn) is rocky. Tropper wrote with him in mind and the outcome is a character that blasts Hamm back into a leading television role that combines social commentary, dark humor, twisty relationships and a murder mystery. Amanda Peet, 20 years, more than that, of watching her movies, of seeing her on TV and knowing she had the same ability he has, which is so important to the show, to walk the line between comedy and drama, to merge them together and make someone sympathetic even when they’re acting out.
