Kristen Wiig’s 1960s-Set ‘Palm Royale’ Is Unserious In All the Best Ways: TV Review

Kristen Wiig returned to Saturday Night Live to host the show for the fifth time, which meant she would be inducted into the five-timers club.

Ahead of starring in 1975, Jason Reitman’s period comedy feature, Kaia Gerber is getting a feel for Studio 8H.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large A star-studded group of veteran “Saturday Night Live” guest hosts were on hand this evening to welcome Kristen Wiig into the “Five-Timers Club.” But much to Wiig’s chagrin, most of them haven’t matched her feat of actually hosting “SNL” five times. The former “Saturday Night Live” cast member made her fifth appearance as host — having previously hit the stage in 2013, 2016 and twice in 2020. The stolen “SNL” valor actually began with a legit five-timer: Paul Rudd, on hand to welcome her from the audience.

Ricky Martin is making his acting comeback in “Palm Royale,” now streaming on Apple TV. The series, produced and starring Kristen Wiig, follows Maxine Simmons (Wiig), a woman who tries to break into Palm Royale’s elite. Martin plays Robert Diaz, a bartender and caretaker who lives in the pool house.

Ricky Martin is the star of Apple TV+’s Palm Royale and has come a long way in the acting field, not forgetting his beginnings in Mexico.

Carol Burnett, Kristen Wiig, and Ricky Martin star in Apple TV+‘s latest gem, the gripping series Palm Royale. Set in 1969, the show delves into the societal divide between the privileged and the marginalized, exploring themes of sacrifice, belonging, and the pursuit of wealth and status.At the forefront of this compelling narrative are two luminaries of the entertainment industry: Carol Burnett and Ricky Martin.

Jaden Thompson On a recent Thursday night in Beverly Hills, the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre transformed into 1960s Palm Beach for the premiere of the Apple TV+ series “Palm Royale,” which stars Kristen Wiig as Maxine, a relentless social climber desperate to fit into high society. The mid-century themed pink carpet featured a Tanqueray bar, gold chandeliers, plenty of lush Florida greenery, and staff wearing special Palm Royale polos, in a nod to the elite country club where the show unfolds.

How is it possible that Apple TV’s high-budget “Palm Royale” doesn’t work? With this insanely talented cast and trendy concept, it should be a slam dunk, right? The main reason it’s not is a depressingly common one in today’s TV and streaming landscape: It’s the wrong length. Like so many recent projects, it wears out its welcome with narrative diversions that don’t work and subplots that sag in the middle of the season to the point where it becomes impossible to care.

Callum McLennan Ancient Greek Aristotle got it right. The production whole is greater than the sum of its co-production parts. This was the sentiment at a Series Mania session titled ‘Fifty Shades of Co Pro’ on Tuesday.

Abe Sylvia‘s new Apple TV+ series stars Oscar winner Allison Janney, Oscar winner Laura Dern, Oscar and nine-time Emmy Award nominee Kristen Wiig, and latin music icon Ricky Martin. But the true star of “Palm Royale” may just be the one and only Carol Burnett.

Palm Royale since I first watched an advanced screener of the Apple TV+ series last fall, so I'm thrilled it's for you to see (only a few more days, as it premieres this Wednesday, March 20).The cast alone is worth signing up for Apple TV+ if you don't already subscribe. For a refresher, it stars Kristen Wiig (brilliant in this role), Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Kaia Gerber, Julia Duffy, Mindy Cohn, Bruce Dern, and more.
