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.

Maya Rudolph is heading to Apple TV+ for new comedy series Loot, and a new image gives us a first look at the ensemble cast.

From Emmy Award-winning creators Alan Yang (Little America, Master of None) and Matt Hubbard (30 Rock, Forever), the 10-episode workplace comedy follows billionaire Molly Novak (Rudolph), who 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, who pleads with Molly to stop generating bad press. With her devoted assistant Nicholas by her side, and with the help of Sofia and team — including mild-mannered accountant Arthur and her optimistic, pop-culture-loving cousin Howard — Molly embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Giving back to others might be what she needs to get back to herself.

Rudolph executive produces as well as starring and the show is created, written and executive produced by Yang and Hubbard, with Natasha Lyonne and Danielle Renfrew Behrens also executive producing through their Animal Pictures, alongside Dave Becky of 3 Arts.

In front of the camera, Rudolph is joined by Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Pose) as Sofia, Ron Funches (Undateable) as Howard, Nat Faxon (Married) as Arthur and Joel Kim Booster (Sunnyside) as Nicholas.

You can see them in action on Friday 24th June, when the first three episodes debut on Apple TV+, followed by one episode weekly on Fridays.
