The creator ofYour Friends & Neighborsknows the world is dark right now.
And he knows you want to escape.
But beyond that, I think we could all stand to look inward.

Otherwise, one day you wake up and youre 50 and youre getting fired in a hot tub.
I thought, Wow, this is even better than I thought it could be, he tellsGlamour.
Its smart, and its sexy, and its great-looking.

Theyre not cookie-cutter cut-outs who only exist to go shopping and get into catfights.
Theyre just as interesting as Coop, perhaps even more so.
I loved the world so much, Munn tellsGlamour.

Theyre at the top of their game, and its never enough.
Nothing is ever, ever enough.
It has one candle in it.
And Im like, How do you guys afford the rent on this business?
What are you selling in there?
(I mean, if onlyThe White Lotuss Victoria Ratliff were part of this show.)
What drew you to the role?
Olivia Munn:I related to my character.
My character is middle-class.
My character is not born into wealth like everyone else.
Everyone else in this show, they are born from wealthy families.
They have Ivy League lineage.
My character doesnt come from that world at all.
She married into this.
I grew up in a military family.
I mean, it was a different level.
I didnt know what certain brands were.
Id never heard of Cartier.
I was like, What is this?
Only because Im exposed to it do I now know about it.
If she hadnt known about this life, in this world, it wouldnt matter.
But now that she does, it seems unfathomable for her to be happy anywhere else.
Im working my butt off and feel like Im barely affording rent on my one-bedroom apartment.
It has one candle in it.
And Im like, How do you guys afford the rent on this business?
What are you selling in there?
But theres always somebody who will come around and buy a $50,000 candle.
Meanwhile, Amanda, your character, Mel, comes from a different world.
Even though theyre happily shtupping other people, they still cant unstick.
I sleep next to you.
I think thats always really suspenseful.
And yet theres a lot of rage.
You shattered his heart and he wants no one else in the world but you.
And thats a really sad thing to watch, especially if youre this girl.
There are some very heavy themes in this show, but its also a bit of a soapy drama.
Munn:These are people who have incredible wealth and are crumbling in front of your eyes.
They are destroying their own lives.
It is incredible to watch people with so much just systematically lose it all.
Peet:Olivia just articulated it really well.
Like I said, its really suspenseful to watch someone who has a double life.
I think that thats such a delicious conceit.
And Jon Hamms character isnt really the only one.
Even Olivias character [is trying to] keep up with the Joneses.
Your Friends & Neighborsstreams on Apple TV+ beginning April 11.
