TheWrap magazine: Marsden "brought a counterpart/alter ego for Hamm’s character," Tropper says The post ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ Creator Jonathan Tropper on Jon Hamm’s Emmys Snub and Secret Weapon James Marsden appeared first on TheWrap .
In 2025-2026, the Apple TV series "Your Friends & Neighbors" made history by winning a single Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series. This remarkable feat occurred despite the show's second season earning praise as one of the eight best dramas on television. The last time a show achieved this rare accomplishment was in 2009 with HBO's "Big Love."
Creator Jonathan Tropper expressed his surprise and elation at the show's unexpected recognition, comparing it to winning the popular vote rather than the more traditional electoral college route. The series revolves around Andrew "Coop" Cooper, played by Jon Hamm, who becomes entangled in white-collar crime after his life takes a turn for the worse.
The second season introduced James Marsden as a wealthier neighbor, James Marsden, who challenges Coop's lifestyle. Despite the show's success, Tropper acknowledged that actors like Jon Hamm may have felt slighted by not receiving additional nominations in other categories.
