Palm Royale Trailer: Kristen Wiig Attempts to Worm Her Way Into High Society in Star-Studded Apple Comedy
Behold, one of the most star-studded casts you’ll see on TV this year.
As part of the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Apple TV+ on Monday released a trailer for the highly anticipated comedy series Palm Royale, which boasts an ensemble including Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Allison Janney and guest stars Carol Burnett and Bruce Dern.
Premiering on Wednesday, March 20, Palm Royale (fka Mrs. American Pie) is “a true underdog story that follows Maxine Simmons (Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society,” according to the official logline. “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.”
Rounding out the cast are Ricky Martin (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story), Josh Lucas (Yellowstone), Leslie Bibb (Popular), Amber Chardae Robinson (Loot), Mindy Cohn (The Facts of Life), Julia Duffy (Newhart) and Kaia Gerber (American Horror Story).
Loosely based on the novel “Mr. and Mrs. American Pie” by Juliet McDaniel, Palm Royale is written and executive-produced by Abe Sylvia (Nurse Jackie, Dead to Me, George and Tammy). Wiig and Laura Dern also serve as EPs.
The first three episodes will drop on premiere day, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through May 8, for a total of 10 episodes. Keep scrolling for additional photos, then hit the comments and tell us if you’ll be adding Palm Royale to your Apple TV+ watchlist based on the cast alone.
I was just wondering what Ms. Wiig was up to. I’ll be happy to have her back on my TV, hopefully to flex her legitimate acting chops amidst all the humor.
Looking forward to this new show. What a great cast!
Great cast…except for Kaia Gerber. I look forward to checking it out.
She’s a prime example of being a “nepo baby.”
You mean a Gerber Baby?
