Your Friends and Neighbors Makes Emmy History With Drama Nomination
A TV show called 'Your Friends and Neighbors' just got a very special award nomination.
The award is called an Emmy, and it is one of the biggest honors in television.
This is the very first time the show has ever been nominated.
The show is about a man named Andrew Cooper, played by actor Jon Hamm.
He loses his job and gets divorced, so he starts stealing from his rich neighbors' houses.
While stealing, he discovers lots of secrets hidden in those homes.
The person who created the show, Jonathan Tropper, was very surprised when he heard the news.
He found out while he was in Europe, and his phone would not stop buzzing.
The show has become popular because people tell their friends about it.
It will come back for a third season in 2027.
Apple TV's 'Your Friends and Neighbors' earned its first-ever Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series in its second season.
The series is only the second show ever nominated in the category without any other nominations that season, after Big Love in 2009.
Creator Jonathan Tropper called the nomination 'surprising and surreal,' learning the news while in Europe.
Jon Hamm stars as Andrew Cooper, a fired hedge fund manager who steals from neighbors in Westchester's Westmont Village.
James Marsden joins the second season as a new neighbor who threatens to expose Cooper, and the show returns for a third season in 2027.

Quotes
Jonathan Tropper
Creator, showrunner, writer and executive producer of Your Friends and Neighbors
“I’m not sure what it is about the second season specifically that made it catch on. I think in some cases, it’s just the fact that we came after the first season. You know, if I sat down and thought about it, second seasons are generally a little denser.”

“I think in the binge culture, the fact that people can sit down and watch 19 episodes as opposed to just the first nine episodes probably gave us a little more staying power.”
