Complete cast breakdown of Palm Royale season 2: Who plays who & where you’ve seen them before

Palm Royale is a biting comedy that turns 1969 Palm Beach into a battlefield of martinis, manicures and murder plots. Created by Abe Sylvia and loosely based on Juliet McDaniel’s 2018 novel Mr. & Mrs. American Pie, the Apple TV+ series centres on Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons (Kristen Wiig), a former beauty queen turned social bulldozer.

She’ll lie, cheat and crash any gala to claw her way into the Palm Royale country club—an elite enclave where the women wear Pucci and the men hide affairs behind yacht clubs.

Season 1 ended in 2024 with a total meltdown. Maxine’s public breakdown at the Beach Ball, Robert (Ricky Martin) shot on the stairs, Douglas (Josh Lucas) exposed for impregnating Mitzi (Kaia Gerber), and the bombshell that Norma Dellacorte (Carol Burnett) is actually Agnes, a boarding-school imposter who killed the real heiress. 

Season 2 picks up right after the scandal, with Maxine now a “social pariah” forced to outsmart a town built on “secrets, lies, and the occasional felony.” Executive produced by Wiig, Laura Dern, and Sylvia, this ten-episode series premieres on November 12, 2025, and airs weekly on Wednesdays, ending January 14, 2026. 

The official synopsis of Palm Royale season 2 reads-

“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.”
