Step into the Glitzy ’60s with Kristen Wiig
Step right into the glitzy universe of “Palm Royale,” Apple TV+’s newest treasure that whisks you back to the groovy ’60s vibe of Palm Beach! Adapted from Juliet McDaniel’s novel, “ Mr. & Mrs. American Pie,” and brought to life by Abe Sylvia’s brilliance, this comedy series is a delightful blend of wild adventures and hearty chuckles, all wrapped in a candy-colored satire.
Kristen Wiig flawlessly embodies Maxine Simmons, a bombshell of sorts determined to carve out her slice of glamour in Palm Beach, even if it means toeing the line of etiquette with a wink and a nod. If you know Wiig, you know you are getting great acting, comedy chops, physical humor, and total commitment.
The story kicks off in 1969 at the swanky Palm Royale country club, where Maxine, lacking both an invite and the hefty membership fee, decides to crash the party. Clad in hues brighter than a Florida sunrise and armed with unyielding determination, she catapults herself into a world of luxury and style, only to discover not everyone is eager to welcome her with open arms.
The ensemble cast at Palm Royale is as vibrant as Maxine’s eclectic wardrobe. From the enigmatic Norma Delacore (played by the iconic Carol Burnett) to the scheming Evelyn Rollins (played by a hilariously unhinged Allison Janney) and the charismatic Ricky Martin as Robert, the savvy waiter with all the inside scoop, each episode promises a whirlwind of scandals, laughter, and unexpected twists. Talk about star-studded cast!!
“Palm Royale” delivers a delectable mix of outrageous charity galas, juicy gossip, and closets brimming with secrets (both literal and figurative) – it’s all part of the charm!
Despite the occasional chaos, “Palm Royale” keeps you hooked with its vibrant visuals, sharp humor, and a nostalgic nod to the swinging ’60s. And here’s the best part – you can hop aboard Maxine’s adventure when the first three episodes premiere on March 20, exclusively on Apple TV+!
But before you plunge into the series, let’s chat about the recent red carpet extravaganza for “Palm Royale.” The stars dazzled at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles on March 14 for the premiere event. Kristen Wiig, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, Kaia Gerber, Allison Janney, and more cast members glided in glamorous attire, setting the stage for what promises to be a wildly entertaining escapade through the high society of late ’60s Florida. So, mark your calendars and prepare to binge-watch the hilariously fabulous world of “Palm Royale”!
