Maya Rudolph’s Time Is Now
Apple TV+
Maya Rudolph has been thrilled to lead her own series on Apple TV+, so she must no doubt be ecstatic to learn that the renewal for season 2 has been made official. She previously spoke about how wonderful it felt to be starring in the series in an interview with Forbes. She also spoke about how she related to her character which made the role all the better to play.
“I definitely feel like this is a great time and place for me,” Rudolph said. “I don’t know if I would’ve been the center of a show five years ago, ten years ago. I don’t know!”
“I really like the idea of seeing someone I can relate to in terms of a woman my age in a transitional period of her life,” Rudolph explained. “I think there’s no question that the element of her being a billionaire was exciting too because the minute we started talking about that idea, I thought This is going to big and this is going to be fun and I feel like it can go anywhere, truly.”
She added, “You can see this character anywhere - and within that, you are also dealing with the emotional, real human element of someone having to change their life and what that means and what they’re doing that they might not want to do. I think those paired together are actually a really nice combination because we’re not just seeing extreme wealth, we’re seeing growth as a human.”
Loot is streaming on Apple TV+, and the first season’s sixth and final episode will hit the platform on July 14. Season 2 does not yet have a premiere date.
