New episodes of Maya Rudolph show airing

NASHVILLE, TN — Comedian and actress Maya Rudolph’s Apple TV+ show “Loot” is taking a new approach. The long delayed second season is now underway Wednesdays and Rudolph says things have moved in a different direction as her character struggled to give away every penny of a $120 billion divorce settlement from tech tycoon John Novak (Adam Scott). She made that dramatic announcement in the season one finale which aired back on August 12, 2022.

“We wanted to let the audience know that, although Molly is giving her money away, she’s still a little bit clueless about how much that means,” executive producer Alan Yang, who co-created the series with Matt Hubbard, told the Hollywood Reporter in discussing the new season. “It was very dramatic, first of all, because very few people have decided to give away all of their money. And in this case, it’s Molly’s character who’s been ensconced in this bubble of wealth and sort of being completely clueless about the rest of the world. So once she makes this declaration, has those eyes opened, we want to explore how difficult it actually is to give that money to the right people. It’s actually a challenge to use that money for good. There are so many obstacles in the way and she’s just at the beginning of that journey.”

New episodes of “Loot” are airing each Wednesday on Apple TV+.
