Apple TV+ revealed the first photos from its new series Palm Royale late last year, and honestly, the visuals alone will hook you before you even realize it stars Kristen Wiig and Laura Dern.

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.

Oh yes, there is a trailer, and it’s delicious in every way. Mark my words, Palm Royale is going to inspire all your vacation looks from this point forward.
