Apple TV+ has released a great trailer for their upcoming series Palm Royale, a star-studded ensemble dramedy that stars Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohn, Julia Duffy, Kaia Gerber, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Carol Burnett, and Bruce Dern. Whew! The show is created by Abe Sylvia (Nurse Jackie, The Affair, George & Tammy), who co-wrote the series with Sheri Holman, Kelly Hutchinson, Sharr White, Celeste Hughey, Becky Mode, Emma Rathbone, and Logan Faust.
The story is based on the book Mr. & Mrs. American Pie, written by Juliet McDaniel, and it features episodes directed by Sylvia, as well as Tate Taylor, Claire Scanlon, and Stephanie Laing. Sylvia produces the series alongside Laura Dern, Jayme Lemons, Kristen Wiig, Katie O’Connell Marsh, Tate Taylor, John Norris, Sharr White, and Sheri Holman.
The synopsis reads:
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, Palm Royale is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance to truly belong.
Apple has made some of my favorite series over the past few years, and this one looks like it could be on that list. Check out the trailer below, and watch Palm Royale on Apple TV+ on March 20th, 2024
