“Palm Royale,” the Apple TV+ original series set on the tony island of Palm Beach, is having a grand summer. In June, the streaming service announced that the show, which debuted in March, had been renewed for a second season. And it’s certainly good news for fans who are anxious to find out what’s next for their favorite characters such as Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons (Kristen Wiig), Robert Diaz (Ricky Martin) and Norma Dellacorte (Carol Burnett) after the season finale’s Beach Ball cliffhanger.
Then in July, “Palm Royale” was nominated for 11 Emmy Awards, with categories including, most notably, Outstanding Comedy Series, along with Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Wiig) and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Burnett). What you need to know to watch If you haven’t checked out the show just yet, there’s plenty of time to binge-watch this summer before the winners are announced during the 76th Emmy Awards airing at 8 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 15, on ABC. Fair warning: You may get ideas about living the good life like the ladies of the Palm Royale country club, a mashup of iconic Palm Beach hotels and historic social clubs such as The Breakers, The Colony, The Everglades Club and Bath & Tennis Club.
(The series was actually filmed in Los Angeles.) But let’s face it, climbing the social ladder in Palm Beach can feel out of reach. Most of us don’t have a closet chock-full of straight-off-the runway dresses or Tom Ford tuxedos for gala seas.
