Bowen Yang plans “Hot White Heist” season two with Trixie Mattel, Jane Lynch, Cynthia Nixon

The fast, high stakes Audible Original series Hot White Heist will make its grand return on March 7 with an expanded cast and even more drama. “I'm thrilled that our sticky heist gang is back for more thrills and debauchery,” star comedian Bowen Yang said in a statement. “In season two the stakes are higher, the action is next level and the story is even more absurd in the best possible way. I'm available for hire if you're planning a heist.”

Yang returns to Hot White Heist as Judy Fink with the first season, Cynthia Nixon, Jane Lynch, Shannon Woodward, Abby Jacobson, Bianca Del Rio, Stephanie Beatriz, Katia Zamolonchkova, Cheyenne Jackson and Tony Kushner. But the six new episodes will also feature Raúl Esparza, Sara Ramírez, Joel Kim Booster, Ian McKellen, Jane Krakowski, Trixie Mattel, Yvie Oddly, Sarah Steele, Jesse James Keitel and more.

“The first season of Hfrom White Heist shattered our expectations for a scripted comedy and became a must-hear for many of our customers,” said Rachel Ghiazza, Audible's Chief Content Officer. “Not only does Season 2 double down on our brilliant casting with the addition of Sara Ramírez and Jane Krakowski, but this season's plot is even wilder, with higher-stakes adventure and bigger laughs, proving that Broadway Video's clever storytelling continues raising the bar on Audible.”

In the first season – premiering in 2021 – Judy Fink and an entire cast of LGBTQ+ outcasts and misfits teamed up to help a lesbian cult fund a top-secret project. It involved, of course, a sperm bank and a hidden bunker under the Space Needle in Seattle. Moving on to season two, the crew has settled on the private island of Lesbos 2, free of past sperm-related worries. That is, until an investigative reporter turned crime podcast host comes sniffing around.

In 2021, Yang went deep Hot White Heist in an interview with Rolling rock. “What I love about this play is that it's — not to take away from its representational value — but the pivot on which the characters develop is their queerness. And I've just never seen that before,” he said at the time. “A lot of different people under the queer umbrella come together, but… Like there's something inherently queer about the heist genre, in a way. It's just about flying under the radar and getting something undercover or, you know, that thing that's so fun and high-risk in the way that a lot of queer experiences are.”
