Apple TV+ today unveiled a first look at Palm Royale, the upcoming Palm Beach-set series starring Emmy and Academy Award nominee Kristen Wiig.
Oscar and Emmy winners Laura Dern and Allison Janney join Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohn, Julia Duffy, and Kaia Gerber.
The show features extra special guest star turns by the legendary Bruce Dern and the iconic, multiple-award-winning Carol Burnett.
Palm Royale makes its global debut on Apple TV+, premiering the first three episodes on March 20, 2024, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through May 8.
Palm Royale is a true underdog story that follows Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society.
As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, Palm Royale asks the same question that still baffles us today: “How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to get what someone else has?”
Set during the powder keg year of 1969, the series is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance to truly belong.
Loosely based on the novel Mr. and Mrs. American Pie by Juliet McDaniel and produced for Apple TV+ by Apple Studios, Palm Royale is written, executive produced, and show-run by Abe Sylvia for Aunt Sylvia’s Moving Picture Company.
The executive producers also include Laura Dern and Jayme Lemons for Jaywalker Pictures, Kristen Wiig, Katie O’Connell Marsh, Tate Taylor, and John Norris for Wyolah Films, Sharr White, Sheri Holman, and Boat Rocker.
The series is directed by Taylor, Sylvia, Claire Scanlon, and Stephanie Laing.
