Jon Hamm is reuniting with Apple TV+ for new series Your Friends and Neighbors.

The actor, who is best known for his starring role in AMC’s Mad Men, recently made a return to the small screen in flagship Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show, opposite Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Now, he’s heading back to Apple TV+ in a role that will make his first time anchoring an ongoing series since Mad Men.

Hamm will star as well as exec-produce the project, which is based on an original idea by acclaimed screenwriter, producer and novelist Jonathan Tropper. Hamm will play Coop, a recently divorced hedge fund manager who, after being fired, resorts to stealing from the wealthy residents in his tiny upstate New York suburb in order 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.

Hailing from Apple Studios, the series is created by Tropper who will serve as showrunner and executive producer under his overall deal with Apple TV+. Tropper also served as showrunner and executive producer of See” starring Jason Momoa, and written films such as The Adam Project, starring Ryan Reynolds, This Is Where I Leave You, starring Jason Bateman and Tina Fey, and Kodachrome, starring Ed Harris, Jason Sudeikis and Elizabeth Olsen.

Also exec-producing will be Connie Tavel (Confess, Fletch).
