Palm Royale season 2 premiered on Apple TV+, continuing the satirical, sparkling take on the high society of Palm Beach in 1969. The series follows the outsider, Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons, as she navigates her way, frequently in a ruthless fashion, to buy her way into the swells' social clubs, while a counterculture and personal scandals encroach upon the polite veneers of the period.

The second season heightens the social stakes, in addition to introducing a new cast of guest stars that make loyalty, reputation, and clubhouse politics even more complex.

All about Palm Royale season 2
Palm Royale season 2 picks right up from the friction and fallout of season 1. In season 2, Maxine Dellacorte finds herself socially isolated after a highly visible collapse, which forces her to reboot and maneuver her way back into the inner circle of Palm Beach society. Now she must be resourceful and cunning, not just to fit in, but also to exactly manipulate class dynamics she once aspired to escape.
The theme of season 2 revolves around her desire to decode and benefit from the concealed machinations of the world she wanted to belong to, including unspoken norms, obscure loyalties, and scandals that underpin the sham of glamour. At the same time, while looking to find absolution, the show reveals the corrosive underside of luxury, including lies, secrets, and even crime, to demonstrate how the beautiful illusion of paradise is sustained through complicit action.
Palm Royale season 2 premiered on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, November 12.
