The premise of Apple TV+’s “Loot,” featuring multi-Emmy Award-winning star Maya Rudolph, was pretty simple. After divorcing her husband of 20 years, Molly Novak (Rudolph) became filthy rich and must figure out what to do with her $87 billion settlement. She decides to reengage with her charitable foundation and reconnect with the real world—and finds herself along the way. Of course, being totally privileged and shallow, her journey towards philanthropy is problematic, tone-deaf, and bumpy along the way, which is meant to be the comedy of it all.

Here’s the season two synopsis:
“Loot” returns for season two a year after Molly Wells (Maya 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 organization, the Wells Foundation. Focused mainly on her charity work, Molly has sworn off any new relationships with men. 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 (Michaela Jaé 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 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.
“Loot” was created and is written, and executive produced by Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard. Maya Rudolph also serves as executive producer, along with her producing partner Danielle Renfrew Behrens, Dave Becky of 3 Arts, and Natasha Lyonne. “Loot” is produced for Apple by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
“Loot” season two premieres with its first two episodes on Wednesday, April 3, on Apple TV+, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through May 29. Watch the new trailer below.
