Killing It Season 2: The story so far

The upcoming comedy-drama on Peacock will continue to show us the life of Craig Foster (Craig Robinson), a divorced father and bank security guard, and his journey to achieve the American dream.

The official synopsis of the second season is as follows:

"Killing It heads will recall that the first season was all about wrestling 200-pound pythons for dough. This time around? The unlikely duo is up and at ‘em with an all-new (airtight?) business plan: farming palmetto berries. To secure the bag, these tenacious underdogs will just have to pray that scammers, vindictive family members, the elements, and, of course, a swamp mafia don’t get in the way."

The first season of Killing It featured how Craig has an encounter with his Uber driver, Jillian G, who stops midway to kill a Burmese Python. Jillian encourages Craig to join the python hunting challenge for a $20,000 prize, promising a fruitful venture.

"Burmese pythons eat everything. It's an ecological disaster so the state pays for every dead pipe that we bring in," she says.

Craig and Jillian team up and take on the challenge as Craig wanted to provide for his daughter and set an example for her while trying to ensure they do not leave for Columbus, Ohio. Jillian needed the money to get help from an attorney to sort out her immigration case.

Multiple challenges and a dead body later, the duo not only won the monetary prize but also continue to function as professional python killers. However, increasing competition made their jobs difficult.
