Do not underestimate Tate Taylor’s commitment to “Palm Royale.”
The director and executive producer of Apple TV’s star-studded period dramedy — about Kristin Wiig’s have-not fighting to break into the ranks of Palm Beach society — took his job as director of the first episode so seriously he was asked to leave. Not the show; Taylor was kicked out of an actual Palm Beach club.
Taylor and production designer Jon Carlos went on a 42-hour trip to Palm Beach to get a feel for the town. “The club that the Palm Royale [the fictional club that gives the series its name] is modeled after is very exclusive,” Taylor told IndieWire. “And so I said, ‘I’m going to break in. And I want to get kicked out.’ And I did! I went through the doors, I looked at all the people — of course, I was in board shorts and flip flops — and I got kicked out.”

“Why do you want to be where you’re not wanted?”
Posed by Linda Shaw (Laura Dern) — a proud hippie of the ’60s recently accused of “dressing like an indigent Mennonite railway priestess” — this question rests at the center of “Palm Royale,” alongside its recipient, Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig). The 40-something new kid in town insists to everyone she meets they use her married name, D’ellacourt, in the hopes its notoriety around Palm Beach will help hasten her acceptance there. Maxine wants nothing more than to be a member of high society, rubbing elbows with the movers and shakers at South Florida’s glam parties and opulent benefits, and she knows looking the part is just as important as living it. To her benefit: She is, in fact, a D’ellacourt. She is not, however, as wealthy as the minted moniker suggests, which proves a recurring impediment in her...

Emmy nominee Kaley Cuoco (The Flight Attendant) and Chris Messina (The Boogeyman) star in Peacock’s new summer series Based on a True Story. Described as a dark comedic thriller, Based on a True Story comes from Craig Rosenberg (The Boys) and is set to premiere on Thursday, June 8, 2023.
“Over the last decade, a true crime phenomenon has swept over America. Podcasts, documentaries, fictional shows based on true stories – they dominate the culture. Murderers have become celebrities and celebrities have become murderers which inspired me to create this show,” explained Rosenberg.
He continued: “I became fascinated with the idea of a relatable married couple whose youthful dreams hadn’t come to fruition and who saw the true crime tidal wave as an opportunity to change their lives and save their marriage. Our Los Angeles setting – the city where everybody wants to be famous – became a vivid backdrop to our story of fame,...

Bet you wouldn’t have picked BET as Paramount Global’s hottest commodity of 2023.
A few months ago, we all nearly performed a spit-take on our laptop screens upon learning that Paramount had rejected a $3 billion bid for Showtime. These days, bids rolling in for another Paramount Global brand, BET, started at — and have since eclipsed — that price point, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told IndieWire.
Paramount is actively soliciting bids for its BET group in what our source described as an organized multi-round auction process. Participants get access to each of the brand’s (otherwise undisclosed) revenue and earnings, apply their own multiples, and arrive at an independent value. The data is considered privileged and the potential buyers must sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
One equity analyst we spoke with for this story said $3 billion for the BET collective “sounds really high.” He’s not alone, though our...

Jim Carrey, and an amazing supporting cast, are taking on a challenge that is almost too much to dare in Showtime‘s latest effort, Kidding. Truly dark comedy is difficult enough to pull off, but when you lace it with a struggle to get over the death of a child, and make it about a guy who has hosted a children’s show for over a decade, there isn’t room to deliver one wrong line. Now add in a delivery of setting and circumstance that is at times a hyperbolic exposition, and you’re really limiting your potential audience as well. Carrey stars as Jeff/Mr. Pickle. His show is incredibly popular and has led to a marketing/licensing empire, but he’s in the middle of a massive crisis which not only includes the loss of a child, but a split from his wife, Jill (Judy Greer) and...

No doubt about it: The 1980s was a strange time to channel surf. Those neon-tinted, big-haired, irony-free days have provided Internet curio-seekers with fodder for infinite terabytes of grainy, colorful ephemera. And one of the cornerstones of weird Eighties television was "Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling" (G.L.O.W. for short), an all-female pro-wrestling league whose exploits were filmed in Las Vegas and syndicated nationwide.
