Apple TV+ Comedy Series Palm Royale Has Star Power; Katt Williams Gets New Netflix Comedy Special

At the 2024 Winter Television Critics Association press tour, Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for Palm Royale, the highly anticipated series set in high society Palm Beach in 1969, starring and executive produced by Kristen Wiig and Academy Award winner Laura Dern. The renowned ensemble cast also features Allison Janney, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohn, Julia Duffy and Kaia Gerber, with extra special guest star turns by the legendary Bruce Dern and the iconic, multiple-award winning Carol Burnett. The highly anticipated series will debut globally with 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 (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. 10 episodes will air of this single-camera comedy series.

Katt Williams will debut his new comedy special, which will stream LIVE on Netflix from the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, as part of Netflix Is A Joke Fest on May 4, 2024 at 7PM PDT/10PM EST. This will be Katt Williams's third comedy special with Netflix. His previous specials include World War III and Great America. The show is part of the Netflix is a Joke Comedy Fest taking place in Los Angeles from May 2-12 with a comedy marathon of over 300 shows across 35+ venues.
