Production

It was announced in February 2022 that Apple TV+ had given a greenlight to the 10-part series named Mrs. American Pie, which would see Kristen Wiig star, and Laura Dern executive producing in addition to potentially co-starring. Abe Sylvia will write the series with Tate Taylor directing.[7] In May, Allison Janney, Leslie Bibb, Ricky Martin and Josh Lucas were added to the cast.[8] [9] [10] [11] Carol Burnett, Amber Chardae Robinson, Jordan Bridges, Kaia Gerber, and Julia Duffy would be amongst additional castings announced in June.[12] [13] [14]

The show's development team made plot and writing decisions based on the cast.[15]

Filming began in May 2022.[16]

The show was renamed Palm Royale in April 2023.[17] [18]

On June 6, 2024, it was announced that the show had been renewed for a second season.[5]

Reception

The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported a 57% approval rating based on 67 critic reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Palm Royales fabulous cast and visual splendor make for a diverting enough destination, but its wayward tone results in a curiously unfulfilling trip to paradise."[19] Metacritic assigned a score of 57 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[20]
