Ridiculously rich people are the problem, ridiculously rich person Molly Wells (Maya Rudolph) says in the season two trailer for comedy series Loot, out Thursday. And that’s why she’ll give away her whole $120 billion fortune. Or she’ll try, anyway.

Loot season two debuts with two episodes April 3 on Apple TV+.

Loot season 2 trailer mixes comedy with extreme philanthropy

Multi-Emmy Award-winning star and executive producer Maya Rudolph returns with Loot season 2. She appears alongside returning cast members Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Nat Faxon, Ron Funches and Joel Kim Booster.

Here’s how Apple TV+ describes the show and its new season (at unusual length):

Loot season two 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 organization, 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 (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 (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.

New guest stars

And while most of cast will be familiar to fans of the show, the new season brings new cast members, too. Guest stars include Benjamin Bratt, Ana Gasteyer and O-T Fagbenle, among others.

Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard created Loot and also write and executive produce it. Other executive producers include Rudolph, Danielle Renfrew Behrens, Dave Becky of 3 Arts and Natasha Lyonne. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, produces the show for Apple.
