Welcome to Palm Beach's most exclusive club, with members like Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, and Kaia Gerber with Laura Dern and Allison Janney. Plus, special guest stars Carol Burnett & Bruce Dern. Palm Royale is now streaming on Apple TV+ https://apple.co/_PalmRoyale
Palm Royale is a true underdog story that follows Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society. As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, Palm Royale asks the same question that still baffles us today: “How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to get what someone else has?” Set during the powder keg year of 1969, Palm Royale is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance to truly belong.
Loosely based on the novel “Mr. and Mrs. American Pie” by Juliet McDaniel and produced for Apple TV+ by Apple Studios, Palm Royale is written, executive produced and showrun by Abe Sylvia for Aunt Sylvia’s Moving Picture Company, executive produced by Laura Dern and Jayme Lemons for Jaywalker Pictures, Kristen Wiig, Katie O’Connell Marsh, Tate Taylor and John Norris for Wyolah Films, Sharr White, Sheri Holman and Boat Rocker. The series is directed by Taylor, Sylvia, Claire Scanlon and Stephanie Laing.

00:10 It was the beginning of the season.
00:13 Those heady months when the wealthiest descend on Palm Beach to mix and mingle like crabs in a barrel.
00:22 [music]
00:25 Question is, which crab bit me?
00:28 [music]
00:30 Was it Evelyn Rollins?
00:34 [music]
00:36 The self-appointed Queen Bee?
00:38 And stalwart adversary in the fight against pediatric cancer?
00:42 Her advocacy made her a superstar.
00:45 Volunteer of the year, nine years in a row.
00:49 I am one humbled volunteer.
00:52 [music]
00:53 Or was it Dinah Donahue?
00:56 The ambassador's wife.
00:58 Have a good day!
01:00 See you at the club!
01:02 She was poised to dethrone Miss Evelyn.
01:05 [music]
01:08 If her libido didn't get the better of her.
01:11 It could have been any one of the ladies in the shiny sheet.
01:16 The widow who was as fizzy and dizzy as a glass of champagne.
01:22 Or the sugar heiress with 30 million to spare.
01:26 And a mobster husband.
01:28 [music]
01:47 There's an old song here that goes,
01:49 "When you first come to Palm Beach, you think you're the oldest and the richest.
01:53 And then you realize you're the youngest and the poorest."
01:59 I had only been in Palm Beach two weeks,
02:02 but I already knew the Palm Royale, the most exclusive club in the world,
02:08 was where I belonged.
02:12 Crabs be damned.
02:18 Your grasshopper.
02:19 Oh, you found the cream to cacao after all.
02:22 We sent someone out for it.
02:23 Well, that is what I call going above and beyond.
02:27 Oh, wait, don't you need me to sign for it?
02:30 Excuse me?
02:33 Did I spill?
02:34 In a manner.
02:35 [no dialogue]
