Apple TV cancels Palm Royale after two seasons
Apple TV has canceled Palm Royale after two seasons, Deadline
reports, concluding the Emmy-nominated dramedy's run at the
streamer. Created by Abe Silva and starring Kristen Wiig, the
series aired 20 episodes after debuting in March 2024. Apple
declined to comment on the cancellation.

Palm Royale starred Wiig as Maxine Simmons, an ambitious social
climber trying to enter Palm Beach high society in 1969. The
ensemble cast included Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Ricky Martin,
Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohn,
Julia Duffy, and Carol Burnett. Season 2 added Claudia Ferri,
Jason Canela, Jordan Bridges, James Urbaniak, Roberto Sanchez,
Rick Cosnett, and Ryan Dorsey. John Stamos, Patti LuPone, Vicki
Lawrence, and Matt Rogers also joined in the second season.

The first season earned 11 Emmy Award nominations. These
included Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in
a Comedy for Wiig, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a
Comedy Series for Burnett. The show won for Outstanding Original
Main Title Theme Music. For Season 2, Wiig received a nomination
at the Annual Actor Awards. The series also earned a GLAAD Media
Award nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Loosely based on Juliet McDaniel's novel Mr. and Mrs. American
Pie and produced by Apple Studios, the series followed Maxine as
she attempted to cross "that impermeable line between the haves
and the have-nots." The dramedy asked, "How much of yourself are
you willing to sacrifice to get what someone else has?"

Season 2 depicted Maxine as a social pariah after a public
breakdown, working to prove "that not only does she belong, but
she might have what it takes to rule this town." The finale
featured a tribute to Burnett's character, Norma Dellacorte, who
sang "Something Good."
