April on Apple TV+ – highlights include Loot, Girls State, Sugar, Franklin and The Big Door Prize.
Loot
“Loot” season two sees the return of the laugh out loud comedy starring, and executive produced by Emmy Award winner Maya Rudolph. A year after Molly Wells’ (Rudolph) very public divorce from tech billionaire John Novak (Adam Scott), where we find her thriving in her role as the head of her philanthropic organisation the Wells Foundation.
Focused mainly on her charity work, Molly has sworn off any new relationships with any new men. Fabulously single but not particularly independent, Molly’s trusty assistant Nicholas (Joel Kim Booster) remains by her side, diligently catering to her every whim…and occasionally feeding her a kale smoothie spiked with gin.

Girls State
“Girls State” is the follow-up to the 2020 Apple Original Film “Boys State.” The film follows 500 teenage girls from across Missouri as they gather for a week-long immersion in an elaborate laboratory of democracy, where they build a government from the ground up, campaign for office and form a Supreme Court to weigh the most divisive issues of the day.
Following a distinctly female perspective and filled with teenage insecurity, biting humour and a yearning for true friendship, the young leaders of “Girls State” win hearts and minds—not just elections.
Friday 5 April
Sugar
“Sugar” is a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture, and television history: the private detective story. Starring and executive produced by Colin Farrell, an American private investigator is on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel.
As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent, others long buried.
Friday 5 April
Franklin
“Franklin” stars Michael Douglas as iconic scientist, inventor and diplomat, Benjamin Franklin, exploring the thrilling story of the greatest gamble of his career. In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when – as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance – he embarks on a secret mission to France.
The series is based on Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff’s book, “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” journaling the period diplomats and historians still regard as the greatest single tour of duty by an ambassador in America’s history.
