A first look at writer Andy Siara’s upcoming Peacock series “Palm Springs” “The Resort” will likely leave you with more questions than answers.
The series is described as “a multigenerational coming-of-age love story disguised as a fast-paced mystery about the disappointment of time. An anniversary trip tests a marriage when the couple become embroiled in one of Yucatan’s most bizarre unsolved mysteries that took place fifteen years before.
The first images released Thursday, which you can check out below, feature some of the top cast including William Jackson Harper, Cristin Milioti, Nick Offerman, Luis Gerardo Méndez, Nina Bloomgarden, Gabriela Cartol and Skyler Gisondo. However, their circumstances are unclear.

In many shots, the characters appear to be at a tropical resort – but they have rather ominous looks on their faces, as if what they’re experiencing is far from a relaxing vacation.
“When I was much younger and had more energy, I wanted to make a great summer movie with mystery, detective, adventure, comedy, tragedy, romance , a natural disaster, plus a dose of the surreal and existential – and ideally it would have been for Universal,” Siara said in a statement. ” This does not happen. But now, many years later, we have ‘The Resort’… and it’s kind of a great summer movie with all of those things.
He continued: “’The Resort’ is about a lot of things. There are large swings and small swings. He’s someone who looks back on his life and tries to remember the good times, mixed with a 5-year-old playing with toys in the garden. It never takes itself too seriously, but sometimes it gets pretty serious. I guess at its core it’s about people wanting to go back to a time in life when things seemed a little easier, before the hard times in life piled up. These are people who are trying to regain that sense of belonging. And within that there is a great mystery.
In addition to the main cast, recurring guest stars include Ben Sinclair, Parvesh Cheena, Debby Ryan, Dylan Baker, Michael Hitchcock, and Becky Ann Baker.
Siara serves as showrunner, writer, and executive producer alongside co-showrunner, executive producer, and writer Allison Miller. Sam Esmail and Chad Hamilton of Esmail Corp are also executive producers with Sinclair. Sarah Matte is co-EP.
“The Resort” is divided into eight half-hour episodes, which will premiere with three episodes on July 28. The rest of the episodes will drop weekly.
