EXCLUSIVE: Aimee Carrero (The Menu) has joined the Jon Hamm-led Apple series Your Friends And Neighbors in a series regular role, sources close to production tell Deadline. Details regarding her character are under wraps.
Based on an original idea by screenwriter, producer and novelist Jonathan Tropper, Your Friends and Neighbors stars Hamm as Coop, a recently divorced hedge fund manager who, after being fired, resorts to stealing from the wealthy residents in his tony upstate New York suburb to keep his family’s lifestyle afloat. These petty crimes begin to reinvigorate him until he breaks into the wrong house at the wrong time.
Carrero joins an ensemble cast that also includes Olivia Munn, Amanda Peet, Lena Hall, Hoon Lee and Mark Tallman.
Craig Gillespie (Physical) is set to direct the first two episodes and executive produce. Additionally, Emmy winners Greg Yaitanes (Presumed Innocent, House of the Dragon) and Stephanie Laing (Palm Royale, Physical) are set to direct three episodes each. The project reunites Lee and Tropper who worked together on Max’s Warrior, a series created by the latter. The project hails from Apple Studios.
Tropper, who served as showrunner for Apple’s See and has an overall deal with the streamer, created Your Friends and Neighbors and will serve as showrunner. He will exec produce alongside Hamm, Gillespe and Connie Tavel.
Carrero’s breakout role was in Season 2 of FX’s The Americans playing the character of Lucia. Most recently, she portrayed Felicity in The Menu, opposite Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor Joy and John Leguizamo. Additionally, she co-starred in the Apple TV+ holiday film Spirited opposite Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell. In TV, Carrero worked alongside Christoph Waltz in Prime Video’s The Consultant in a series regular role; Netflix’s Maid and the Paramount+ limited series, The Offer.
