The biggies
Loot (Apple TV+, Wednesday, 12:01 a.m.)
Apple TV+’s workplace sitcom Loot has an impressive ensemble—and thankfully, they’re all back for season two. Maya Rudolph, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Nat Faxon, Ron Funches, and Joel Kim Booster return for goofy shenanigans at the Wells Foundation. After her divorce from an affluent douchebag, Molly Novak (Rudolph) inherits $87 billion and a midlife crisis. So she starts going to the office of a non-profit she started and unexpectedly forms a tight-knit friendship with her colleagues. Look out for The A.V. Club’s review on Monday.
Ripley (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)
Andrew Scott is going from Hot Priest to a fictional serial killer with his new TV project. He stars in the ’60s-set show, based on Patricia Highsmith’s acclaimed novel, as Tom Ripley, a grifter hired by a wealthy man to go to Italy and bring his unruly son back home. Accepting the job leads him to a life of fraud and murder. Johnny Flynn, Dakota Fanning, John Malkovich, and Eliot Summer co-star, and the psychological thriller is helmed by The Night Of’s Steven Zallian. The A.V.
