Apple TV+ renews ‘Loot,’ starring Maya Rudolph, for season three

Apple TV+ has renewed comedy series “Loot” for a third season.
Apple TV+ today announced that “Loot” has been renewed for season three. The comedy series is led by five-time Emmy Award-winning star and executive producer Maya Rudolph, alongside an all-star comedy ensemble cast that includes Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Nat Faxon, Ron Funches and Joel Kim Booster.
The season two finale saw Molly Wells (Rudolph) and her trusted and unhinged assistant Nicholas (Kim Booster) board Molly’s private jet following her awkward exchange with her will-they, won’t-they colleague Arthur (Faxon). Where will the PJ land? Luckily, season three will continue to follow the antics of the beloved group of misfits at The Wells Foundation.
“We are thrilled to come back for a third season,” said Maya Rudolph and Danielle Renfrew Behrens of Banana Split Projects in a statement. “We’re extremely fortunate to spend more time with our talented cast and crew. Making this show with Apple TV+ has been a joy, and we can’t wait to reunite with our ‘Loot’ family.”
“With each season, ‘Loot’ continues to deliver joy, laughs and endearing characters for audiences around the world,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+, in a statement. “We are excited to partner with Maya Rudolph, and the entire cast and creative team behind ‘Loot,’ to create even more heartfelt moments with an ensemble of fan-favorite characters in season three.”
The complete first and second seasons of “Loot” are now streaming globally on Apple TV+. “Loot” season two kicks off a year after Molly Wells 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 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 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. Guest stars include Benjamin Bratt, Ana Gasteyer and Fagbenle, among others.
“Loot” is created, written and executive produced by Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard. Rudolph also serves as executive producer for Banana Split Projects, along with her producing partner Renfrew Behrens, Dave Becky of 3 Arts and Natasha Lyonne. “Loot” is produced for Apple by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
