**Apple TV+ Renews Agreement with Showrunner Jonathan Tropper After Triumph of ‘Your Friends and Neighbors’**
After the remarkable success of ‘Your Friends and Neighbors’, starring Jon Hamm and concluding its inaugural season last week, Apple has renewed its agreement with showrunner Jonathan Tropper, as reported by Deadline.
### Three-time Apple Collaborator
Apple TV+ first teamed up with Tropper in 2019, when he took on the role of executive producer and showrunner for *See*, one of the platform’s initial offerings. Since then, he has emerged as one of the most active creators on Apple TV+, with two ongoing series and two prominent films in development.
As part of this new multi-year extension, he will keep developing and producing original content for Apple through his production firm, Tropper Ink. Tropper shared his excitement, saying, “Collaborating with the entire Apple team remains the most creatively rewarding partnership of my career, and I’m eager to bring *Lucky* and other new projects to the platform, in addition to producing more seasons of *Your Friends & Neighbors*.”
### Triumph
As per Nielsen sampling data, *Your Friends and Neighbors* ranks as the most-viewed new Apple drama series of the year, based on first-month audience numbers across U.S. households. It is also poised to enter the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 for the first time, a rare achievement for a newer Apple TV+ original. Remarkably, Apple had already foreseen the show’s success, renewing it for a second season back in November, well before its premiere. Season 2 is presently in production.
### Upcoming
Next from Tropper is *Lucky*, a limited series featuring Anya Taylor-Joy, based on Marissa Stapley’s bestselling novel, set to premiere later this year. In the film realm, Tropper is scripting and producing *The Corsair Code*, a sci-fi mystery adventure starring Chris Hemsworth, and *Matchbox*, an action-comedy inspired by the popular toy brand, featuring John Cena, Jessica Biel, and Sam Richardson.
Beyond Apple, Tropper is also writing an upcoming Star Wars film for director Shawn Levy.
### Final Thoughts
Apple TV+ is offered at $9.99 per month and showcases popular TV series and films including *Ted Lasso*, *Severance*, *The Studio*, *The Morning Show*, *Shrinking*, and *Silo*.
