Let’s break down what’s on offer:
- Loot (Season 2, April 3): Maya Rudolph’s return in this quirky comedy about a billionairess navigating life post-divorce might have flown under your radar, but it’s a critic’s favorite. Now with a hefty $87 billion settlement, Molly is finding her philanthropic footing and attempting to move on – with hilarious results.
- Sugar (April 5): Apple is hoping to capture some of the detective drama magic that shows like Bosch have mastered. Colin Farrell stars as John Sugar, a private investigator hunting for a vanished heiress within a powerful Hollywood family. The star-studded cast, including Amy Ryan and James Cromwell, adds plenty of intrigue.
- Girl’s State (April 5): If you enjoyed 2020’s Boy’s State documentary, this is the companion piece you’ve been waiting for. Following the same mock government project model, Girl’s State spotlights ambitious young women facing the challenges – and complexities – of building political influence.
