The Apple TV dramedy Your Friends & Neighbors, starring and executive produced by Jon Hamm, returned with a second season on April 3 – and its third season has already been renewed.
Hamm portrays Andrew Coop, a divorced former hedge fund manager who starts stealing from his wealthy neighbours to maintain his lavish lifestyle after getting fired from his job. The show’s second season sees the return of its original cast – including Aimee Carrero, whose character Elena unexpectedly becomes key to Coop’s robberies.
Without spoiling too much of the show’s second season, here’s what you need to know about Carrero.
She has been acting since 2007

Born in the Dominican Republic in July 1988, Carrero was born to a Dominican mother and a Puerto Rican father, and was raised in Miami. She described her childhood as a “total melting pot” full of Cuban, South American, Central American and Caribbean influences in a 2016 interview with Popsugar.
In 2008, Carrero graduated from Florida International University with a degree in international relations and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.
Before graduating, Carrero had gradually built her résumé with small roles, starting in 2007. She has appeared in various TV shows, like the legendary Disney series Hannah Montana, which starred Miley Cyrus.
She is the voice of Disney’s first-ever Latina Princess
