Apple TV+’s 2024 lineup includes the new comedy series Palm Royale, which is set to premiere on March 20th. Loosely based on Juliet McDaniel’s 2018 novel Mr. and Mrs. American Pie, Palm Royale will kick off with the release of the first three episodes. Additional new episodes arrive on Wednesdays leading up to the May 8th season finale.
Emmy and Oscar nominee Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, Saturday Night Live) leads the cast of the ensemble comedy. Oscar and Emmy winner Laura Dern (Marriage Story, Big Little Lies), Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohan, Julia Duffy, Kaia Gerber, and Oscar and Emmy winner Allison Janney (I, Tonya, Mom) also star.
Big-name guest stars include Carol Burnett and Bruce Dern.
“Palm Royale is a true underdog story that follows Maxine Simmons (Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “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.”
Abe Sylvia writes and serves as showrunner. Executive producers include Sylvia, Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Jayme Lemons, Katie O’Connell Marsh, Tate Taylor, John Norris, Sharr White, Sheri Holman, and Boat Rocker. Tate Taylor, Abe Sylvia, Claire Scanlon, and Stephanie Laing directed season one.
