“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,” Apple TV+ describes of the new season.
In the trailer, Rudolph’s Molly announces that she’s going to give away all of her $120 billion. She also attempts to launch a new housing initiative called Space for Everyone.
The new season will also welcome back returning ensemble cast Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Nat Faxon, Ron Funches and Booster.
Other things in store for the new season include Sofia Salinas (Rodriguez), the executive director of the Wells Foundation, continuing to run things, but things take a turn when she meets Molly’s architect friend Isaac (O-T Fagbenle). Meanwhile, the streamer notes that the bromance between Howard (Funches) and Nicholas “continues to flourish as they support each other in their endeavors both inside and outside the workplace.” Then “Arthur (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.”
Benjamin Bratt, Ana Gasteyer, and Fagbenle are set to guest star in the second season.
Loot is created, written and executive produced by Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard. Rudolph serves as executive producer, along with her producing partner Danielle Renfrew Behrens, Dave Becky of 3 Arts and Natasha Lyonne. The series is produced for Apple by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Loot will debut with the first two episodes on April 3, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through May 29.
