Remain cool. Loot season 3 is on the way in October, Apple TV Plus has posted, which is great news for fans of the brilliant Maya Rudolph comedy. There's even a fun teaser trailer (below!) with Molly hugging a crystal.

Loot was personally recommended to me by a friend, and boy, was I glad I took their word and watched Maya as loveable Molly Novak, who has the dream life, including a sprawling mansion, a swanky private jet, and a mega yacht.

But then her husband of 20 years (played brilliantly by Adam Scott) betrayed her, and she was forced to live her breakdown under the microscope of the media. Just as she reached rock bottom, Molly discovered, to her surprise, that she had her own charity foundation, so she decided that giving back to others might be the key to getting back on her feet.

Like all true great comedies, you really care about the characters, and we're hoping in season 3 that Molly can finally find happiness.

Here's everything we know...

Loot season 3 release date

Loot season 3 will debut globally with the first two episodes on Wednesday, October 15 on Apple TV Plus, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through December 10.

Loot season 3 plot (contains spoilers if you've not finished season 2)

Arthur and Molly in Loot

Well, the big question is, could season 3 finally see Molly and Arthur get together? The pair kissed twice in the season 2 finale, but they're not together as Arthur has a girlfriend and is also conflicted about the wisdom of dating his billionaire boss. Every fan is rooting for them to finally become a couple, but we'd expect season 3 to continue that will they/won't they vibe.

Sofia did get her happy ending with Isaac, but will that work out? Meanwhile, at the end of season 2 Molly found herself very much alone in the world of billionaires. She seems to be the only one intent on using her money to make the world a better place and her charity will again we'd imagine, be at the heart of the series. We also wouldn't be surprised if the makers threw a futher love interest for her into the mix.

Teasing the new season, the makers say: "Molly has landed the jet for season three, with viewers left on the edge of their seats following the season two finale that saw Wells and her trusted assistant, Nicholas, board Molly’s private jet with her orders to take her as far away as possible after blowback from her fellow billionaires about stepping up philanthropy and her awkward exchange with her will-they, won’t-they colleague, Arthur."

Loot season 3 cast

Maya Rudolph will return as Molly Novak. Also back are Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Nurse Jackie and Tick, Tick…Boom!) as no-nonsense Sofia Salinas, who runs the foundation on Molly’s behalf; actor and director Nat Faxon as mild-mannered accountant Arthur; comedian and actor Ron Funches as Howard and Joel Kim Booster as Maya’s assistant Nicholas. Stephanie Styles will guest as Ainsley as will Adam Scott as John. It's not clear if Meagen Fay returns as Rhonda.

Guest stars include D’Arcy Carden, Zane Phillips, Henry Winkler and X Mayo.

Is there a trailer?

Yes, well more of a teaser but here you go...
