Apple TV+ Renews Palm Royale for Season 2; Peacock Orders Season 4 for Kevin Hart Talker
Apple renews hit, star-studded comedy sensation Palm Royale for season two. Palm Royale is executive produced by Academy Award winner Laura Dern, Academy and Emmy Award nominee Kristen Wiig and creator Abe Sylvia with an all-star cast led by Wiig and including Dern, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas and Leslie Bibb, with Allison Janney and extra special guest stars Bruce Dern and Carol Burnett. Grab a grasshopper and get ready to step back into glamorous Palm Beach high society! On the heels of its critically acclaimed season one finale, Apple TV+ announced a season two renewal for its global hit comedy, Palm Royale. Since its global debut this March, Palm Royale has been hailed as "a dishy delight," "wildly outrageous and amusing," "a feast of retro stylings and historical events" and an "edge-of-your-seat guessing game you won't want to stop watching." Additionally, Wiig was just recognized for her work in the series with a nomination from the first-ever Gotham TV Awards. Set in high society Palm Beach in the powder keg year of 1969, 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?" Palm Royale is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance to truly belong.
