The multi-talented Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin has left vacation-mode behind, and it's a good thing, as the weeks ahead promise to be intense. In a recent video, Ricky revealed that he's all set to get back into character as Robert Díaz.
"As Robert, first day of filming for season 2. Are you ready?" he teased, announcing that production for the second season of Palm Royale has officially begun.
The return of the Apple TV+ series, which received 11 Emmy nominations this year and won the award for 'Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music,' is thrilling news for both Palm Royale and Ricky Martin fans. His character has quickly become one of the most beloved in the satirical comedy.
Additionally, in a video brimming with positive energy and good vibes—just as his followers are accustomed to—the Latin superstar shared that he will be in Chihuahua, Mexico, on October 10 for a concert, and will be traveling to the Middle East over the weekend for work-related commitments:
"Hello beautiful people, how are you? I hope everyone is doing well. I'm just dropping by to say hello for a bit, and well, I'm starting an amazing week, a very intense week. Tomorrow is my first day of shooting for the second season of Palm Royale. If you haven't seen the first season, you have to watch it because it's wonderful. Now we're on to season two.
It's going to be a busy week because I'm also heading to Chihuahua for a concert, and I'm thrilled because I always love visiting my fans in Mexico.
After that, over the weekend, I'm flying to the Middle East for some work, and I just wanted to let you know that there are always good things happening, and we're staying positive. I'm grateful for life, I love you all very much, keep writing to me, and I'm always here, at your service.
Lots of love, peace, and strength. Love and light always. I love you, bye."
But one of the moments that captured the hearts of his followers was a sweet cameo from his young daughter, who could be heard saying, "Daddy, I'm ready now," melting everyone's hearts instantly.
As Ricky invited everyone to watch the series, if you're curious about the show and want to binge the first season this weekend, here's a quick rundown.
Palm Royale, the ambitious Apple TV+ series, transports viewers to the lavish 1960s in Palm Beach, Florida, where Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) struggles to find her place in high society. Inspired by Juliet McDaniel's novel Mr. & Mrs. American Pie, the series blends drama and satire to explore just how far people will go to fit into the most exclusive social circles.
The plot follows Maxine as she faces fierce opposition from Evelyn Rollins (Allison Janney), the powerful and cunning leader of the Palm Beach elite. Alongside them is Laura Dern, who plays Linda Shaw, a feminist activist navigating this world of superficiality. And, of course, Latin superstar Ricky Martin plays Robert, a club waiter with intriguing connections within this world of privilege and secrets. The cast also features stars like Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Kaia Gerber, and the legendary Carol Burnett, who shines as Norma, a character whom Martin's Robert takes care of.
