‘Palm Royale’ Cancelled at Apple TV After Two Seasons

Apple TV has cancelled the Kristen Wiig-led “Palm Royale” after two seasons, Variety has confirmed.

Created by Abe Sylvia, the high-society dramedy launched its first season with the streamer in 2024. The show follows Wiig’s wannabe patrician Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons, who is hell-bent on becoming the belle of 1960’s Palm Beach by elbowing her way into the upper echelons of Florida’s most exclusive beach club, the Palm Royale. Other cast members include Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Charade Robinson, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Kaia Gerber and Carol Burnett. “Palm Royale” was loosely adapted from Juliet McDaniel’s 2018 novel “Mr. and Mrs. American Pie.”

“Palm Royale” Season 1 was nominated for 11 Emmys, including outstanding comedy series, best actress for Wiig and best supporting actress for Burnett. It took home one statue for outstanding original main title theme music. Season 2 earned Wiig a nomination at SAG’s Actor Awards for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series.

The official logline for “Palm Royale” Season 2 reads, “Maxine is left a social pariah after a scandalous public breakdown. She’ll have to draw on her deep well of cleverness and cunning to prove, once and for all, that not only does she belong, but she just might have what it takes to rule this town. Along the way, she will uncover untold truths and finally understand what this town is truly built on … secrets, lies and the occasional felony.”

Creator Sylvia also served as writer, showrunner and executive producer under Aunt Sylvia’s Moving Picture Company. Other executive producers included Dern, Jayme Lemons for Jaywalker Pictures, Wiig and Katie O’Connell Marsh. Sharr White, Sheri Holman, Becky Mode and Stephanie Laing also serve as executive producers.
