Preview — Loot Season 2: Single, Fabulous, and With a New Mission
After nearly a two-year wait, Apple TV+’s delightful comedy Loot is back for Season 2.
When we last saw Molly and the gang on Loot Season 1 Episode 10, “The Silver Moon Summit,” Molly committed to giving away her money after a disastrous demonstration of her boyfriend Jean-Pierre’s water purification technology.
Molly invested in the technology at Jean-Pierre’s urging, which put considerable strain on her relationship with Sofia. However, the humbling experience forced Molly to reassess her motives and values.
This led her to break things off with Jean-Pierre and commit to giving her money away by putting it in the hands of local organizers. With a new perspective and after repairing her relationship with her team, everything seemed to get tied up with a happy bow.
But the episode doesn’t end without throwing a little chaos into the mix to tease potential drama for the next season.
The episode ends with Molly waking up in bed with her ex-husband, John Novak, leaving viewers waiting to see what—if any—fallout will result from that situation.
Loot Season 2 picks up two years after Molly’s divorce from Novak, which means there will be a significant time jump. The trailer and season description don’t reference the season-ending cliffhanger with Molly’s ex.
Given the time jump and the fact that the season description says Molly has sworn off new relationships with men, it might mean that the night with John was just a blip and not something that will have any serious ripple effects moving forward.
Instead, it seems that this season’s story will focus on Molly’s work on herself and her latest philanthropic efforts.
Along those lines, those efforts will bring a new person to the team. Molly’s friend Isaac, an architect, will join the team to help them work on their latest housing project.
Issac looks to be a new foil for Sophia. Do we sense a possible love interest for Sophia, too? Let’s hope so.
What Loot character are you most looking forward to catching up with? Do you think Benjamin Bratt will be the one who gets Molly to reconsider her vow of no new romantic relationships? Or are you still rooting for Arthur?

Season description: Loot season two returns 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 and embarks on a wellness journey. 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 bromance between Howard (Ron Funches) and Nicholas also continues to flourish as they support each other in their endeavors both inside and outside the workplace.
Meanwhile, Arthur (Nat 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.
