Why do we recommend Apple TV for watching ‘Palm Royale’ Season 2?
Because it’s the only place you can stream it. “Palm Royale” is an Apple TV exclusive. The service costs $13 per month, and every subscription is completely ad-free. If you’re new to Apple TV, there’s also a seven-day free trial, which is perfect if you want to test it out before committing. You’ll also find Season 1 ready to stream there in full if you need to catch up.
Can you watch episodes of ‘Palm Royale’ Season 2 for free?
Sort of. Apple TV offers a seven-day free trial for new users. You could easily start your trial when the first episode drops and watch the first couple of episodes for free. If you’re hooked (and there’s a good chance you will be), you’ll need to subscribe to finish the season. Apple TV doesn’t do multiple tiers, so it’s one flat monthly price for full, ad-free access.
Apple TV
Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
What is ‘Palm Royale’ Season 2 about?
Season 2 of “Palm Royale” picks up right where things left off, with Maxine Dellacorte (Kristen Wiig) now a full-blown social pariah after her scandalous public breakdown. Determined to claw her way back into Palm Beach society, she’ll rely on her signature mix of charm, scheming, and survival instincts to prove she belongs at the top. But the more she digs, the more she realizes this world of champagne and status is built on something far darker: secrets, lies, and the occasional felony.
Between Kristen Wiig’s fearless performance and the show’s over-the-top glamour, it’s one of the most original comedies on streaming right now. And if you thought the finale answered everything, Season 2 promises to peel back even more layers of deceit behind those perfect smiles.

If you’re in the mood for more sharp, funny, character-driven comedies after “Palm Royale,” Apple TV has you covered. Try “Platonic” for another hilarious look at complicated friendships, “The Studio” for a thrill ride through the eyes of Seth Rogen as he plays a studio head in the chaotic behind-the-scenes world of movie-making, or “Ted Lasso,” which I called the first comedy to watch when you sign up for the platform.
