Loot

Molly Wells is jetting off to a third season! Following its widely celebrated and hilarious second season, Apple TV+ announced that Loot has been renewed for season three. The critically acclaimed, global hit comedy 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 series has been hailed as "a quirky comedy with a lot of heart," "fierce" and "fabulous" in addition to being praised for its "laugh-out-loud shenanigans." Viewers were left on the edge of their seats following the season two finale that saw Molly Wells (Rudolph) and her trusted and unhinged assistant Nicholas (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.
