American Auto centers around employees working at an automobile company called Payne Motors, and showcases their challenges as they cope with the new leadership. Here's the official synopsis of the sitcom, according to NBC:

''Set in Detroit, the corporate executives of Payne Motors are at a crossroads: adapt to the changing times or be sent to the junkyard. Shaking things up is the new CEO, whose leadership, experience and savvy is only slightly offset by her complete lack of knowledge about cars.''

The description further states,

''Luckily, her team has some of the best minds in the business - when they aren't fighting or trying to outwit each other. From the corporate office to the factory floor, the crew of Payne Motors is driving home the laughs.''

The series features Ana Gasteyer as Katherine Hastings. Hired as the new CEO of Payne Motors, her lack of experience in automobiles proves to be a detriment to her professional role. Gasteyer has been brilliant throughout the first season, portraying her character's unique sense of humor and charm with stunning ease.

The rest of the supporting cast includes actors like Harriet Dyer as Sadie Ryan, Tye White as Jack Fortin, and Jon Barinholtz as Wesley Payne, among various others.

You can watch the first episode of American Auto season 2 on NBC on Tuesday, January 24, 2023.
