Star-Studded Cast Returns with New Additions
Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, and Lena Hall all return from season 1. James Marsden joins the cast as Owen Ashe, the mysterious neighbor who threatens everything Coop has built.

Production details and episode counts for season 3 remain unannounced, but fans can expect more suburban crime drama ahead.
The series continues Apple TV+‘s streak of critical success, joining acclaimed shows like The Morning Show, Severance, and Oscar-winning CODA. Streaming today marks the beginning of the most buzzed-about television event of spring 2026.
