Kristen Wiig’s New Apple TV Show Could Be The Perfect White Lotus Replacement

Though audiences have a long wait ahead of them for The White Lotus season 3, there is a new television show created by Kristen Wiig coming in 2024 that could be the ideal replacement. In March 2024, Apple TV will be releasing a brand-new comedy series called Palm Royale, starring and created by comedian Kristen Wiig. The show is based on the novel “Mr. & Mrs. American Pie,” and follows a woman living in Palm Beach in 1969 who is intent on joining the ranks of the town’s high society. The show stars Wiig, Allison Janney, and Laura Dern.

After The White Lotus season 2 concluded in December 2022, rumors flew about White Lotus season 3, who will be involved, and when it will come out. At this time, some of these questions have answers. The White Lotus season 3 is happening, and so far, members of the White Lotus 3 cast include Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, Aimee Lou Wood, and season 1 alum, Natasha Rothwell. The filming location has been confirmed to be Thailand. However, the only release date available at the moment is 2025. That means audiences will need another series to pass the time.

Palm Royale Has A Setting & Ensemble Cast To Rival HBO’s The White Lotus

Palm Royale is the perfect replacement for The White Lotus because the series share many commonalities. Not much is known about Palm Royale’s plot, but it’s clear the series will include a star-studded ensemble cast led by Wiig and a setting full of beautiful views and wealthy people. This is incredibly similar to The White Lotus, which is known for its rich characters in idyllic settings. Palm Royale is also set in a different time period, which will set it apart from The White Lotus, but also establish a feel of separation from audiences’ reality like White Lotus does.

The main common thread between Palm Royale and The White Lotus will be its focus on wealth. The White Lotus seasons 1 and 2 both focused on class dynamics between its characters and the dark events that can occur because of these differences. Tanya’s tragic end is a strong example of this. In a similar way, Palm Royale will see Kristen Wiig’s character try to break in among the Palm Beach elite, highlighting the exclusivity and ignorance of the extremely rich. There will also likely be moments of humor among these important topics.

Ultimately, all the similarities between Palm Royale and The White Lotus make it the perfect show to watch while awaiting season 3. Although the new series doesn’t seem to have any murder mystery or crime element to it, it still fits alongside The White Lotus. In the end, it is certain to be a fun and glamorous series that can both poke fun and also delve into serious and relevant issues. Hopefully, Kristen Wiig and Palm Royale can fill the hole that The White Lotus has left until 2025.
