Trailer: Loot returns to Apple TV+ for Season 2
David Farnor | On 12, Mar 2024
“What flavour is this?” “Gin.” That’s the sound of Maya Rudolph returning to Apple TV+ for more Loot, and a new trailer gives us a first look at Season 2.
Hailing from creators Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard, the workplace comedy follows billionaire Molly Novak (Rudolph), whose perfect marriage crumbles and leads her to try and find redemption through a charity foundation that she didn’t know she owned.
Season 2 kicks off a year after Molly Wells (Rudolph) settles her very public divorce from tech billionaire John Novak (Adam Scott), and we find her thriving in her role as the head of her philanthropic organisation, the Wells Foundation. Focused mainly on her charity work, Molly has sworn off any new relationships with men and embarks on a wellness journey. Fabulously single but not particularly independent, Molly keeps her trusty assistant Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster) by her side. He diligently caters to her every whim – and occasionally feeds her a kale smoothie spiked with gin.
Sofia Salinas (Rodriguez), the no-nonsense executive director of the Wells Foundation, continues to run things with compassionate efficiency, but her all-business ethos is thrown for a loop when she meets Molly’s charismatic architect friend Isaac (O-T Fagbenle). The bromance between Howard (Funches) and Nicholas also continues to flourish as they support each other in their endeavors both inside and outside the workplace. Meanwhile, Arthur (Nat Faxon) has moved past his feelings for Molly and has adopted a new devil-may-care attitude on life, a change encapsulated by a very lame leather bracelet. The Wells Foundation team, including Rhonda (Meagen Fay) and Ainsley (Stephanie Styles), must pull together as co-workers and friends as Molly strives to publicly live up to her promise of giving away all of her vast fortune.
The new trailer also gives us a first look at new guest stars Benjamin Bratt and Ana Gasteyer. You casee them in action on 3rd April, when the first two episodes of the season premiere on Apple TV+ – followed by episodes weekly until the finale on 29th May.

Maya Rudolph is heading to Apple TV+ next month for new series Loot and a new trailer gives us a first glimpse of the workplace comedy.
Hailing from creators Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard, and co-starring Michaela Jaé Rodriquez, Ron Funches, Nat Faxon and Joel Kim Booster, the series follows billionaire Molly Novak (Rudolph) has a dream life, complete with private jets, a sprawling mansion and a gigayacht — anything her heart desires. But when her husband of 20 years betrays her, she spirals publicly, becoming fuel for tabloid fodder. She’s reaching rock bottom when she learns, to her surprise, that she has a charity foundation run by the no-nonsense Sofia Salinas (Rodriguez), who pleads with Molly to stop generating bad press. With her devoted assistant Nicholas (Kim Booster) by her side, and with the help of Sofia and team — including mild-mannered accountant Arthur (Faxon) and her optimistic, pop-culture-loving cousin Howard (Funches) — Molly embarks on a journey of self-discovery.
The 10-episode comedy will debut with the first three episodes on Friday 24th June, followed by one new episode weekly every Friday.
