Palm Royale: The Game of Deception Begins Anew - Kristen Wiig’s *Palm Royale* Returns With Bolder Ambitions in Season 2
Maxine Simmons, played by Kristen Wiig, returns in the second season of Palm Royale with a newfound determination to infiltrate Palm Beach's elite society in 1969. Despite its critical acclaim and star-studded cast, the first season did not reach the heights of The White Lotus.
The new season, consisting of ten episodes, will be released weekly on Wednesdays starting November 12, 2023, on Apple TV+. Wiig will be joined by an impressive ensemble cast including Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Leslie Bibb, Ricky Martin, Josh, John Stamos, and Patti LuPone.
In this season, Maxine undergoes a personal transformation, becoming more radical in her pursuit of acceptance. Despite facing obstacles, Wiig delivers a standout performance as Maxine. The series is known for its vibrant, candy-colored aesthetic and chaotic plot set against the backdrop of the late 1960s. Norma, played by Carol Burnett and the reigning queen of Palm Beach society, vows to keep Maxine out of the elite club.
The second season of Palm Royale promises to be a captivating blend of drama, comedy, and chaos, as Maxine Simmons continues her quest to break into Palm Beach's elite society. With a talented cast and a unique aesthetic, the series is set to be a must-watch this fall.
