Killing It

Aspiring entrepreneur Craig (Craig Robinson)
is back in business for Season 2 of this hilarious satirical comedy. Having previously hunted snakes in the Florida Everglades for cash, Craig and daffy partner Jillian (Claudia O’doherty) are now putting their prize money to good use. “Craig has purchased a saw palmetto farm,” explains Robinson of his long-suffering character’s plan to harvest the rare berries for use in men’s wellness supplements. “He’s very excited about it. He’s in production and about to make his first sale — he and Jillian are ready.” Or so they think. “It’s a short-lived joy,” previews Robinson, adding that the farm’s mounting woes will only get worse. “The stakes get really heightened, like, immediately.”
