Exclusive: Nina Bloomgarden (The Resort), James Tupper (Big Little Lies), Theo Germaine (They/Them) and Paige Collins (Big House) have signed on to star alongside Mary Beth Barrone in the indie erotic thriller Good Girl, which Lauren Garroni is directing, in her feature debut. No details on their roles have been disclosed.
The film currently shooting in Los Angeles watches as an enterprising Sugar Baby, offered ten grand to move in with her Sugar Daddy, comes to discover the dark secrets trapped within his home. Pic is described as part biting dark comedy, part erotic thriller — but above all, a story about sex work through a feminist and queer lens.

Most independent producer/financiers would be glad to have one hot title up for sale in Toronto. Limelight arrives this week with three: the Jane Fonda/Lily Tomlin-led comedy-drama “Moving On,” plus a pair of distinctive coming-of-age dramas, “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” and “Wildflower.”
Now Limelight is developing the script for a comedy tentatively titled “Coachella,” written by Andy Siara (“Palm Springs”) and Joey Siara. The feature centers on teens who tell their parents they’re going on a church trip, but sneak off to the famed desert music festival instead. The Siara brothers are loosely drawing on their experiences playing the fest with their indie rock band, The Henry Clay People.
By any measure, Limelight partners Dylan Sellers, Chris Parker and Alex Dong are on a roll. Their comedy “Palm Springs” sold to Neon and Hulu for around 22 million in 2020, a record-breaking Sundance deal at the time.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched “The Disillusionment of Time,” the Season 1 finale of “The Resort.”
As intricate and text-heavy as “The Resort” is, Andy Siara’s adventure-comedy series manages to say a lot about love with almost no dialogue on the subject.
“I hate a romantic monologue. It is exactly the kind of thing that makes me want to throw up,” William Jackson Harper, who stars in the series as Noah opposite Cristin Milioti’s Emma, tells Variety. The two travel to the Yucatán peninsula for their 10th anniversary, but their marriage is quietly on the rocks. As they miscommunicate again and again, they find themselves investigating the disappearance of two teenagers at the resort 15 years prior — a mystery Siara uses to get at the root of the couple’s problems more subtly.

Spoiler Alert: The follow story contains details from the Season 1 finale of Peacock’s The Resort.
In today’s Season 1 finale of Peacock’s The Resort, a core relationship was mended, as long-separated family members were reunited and major mysteries resolved.
Operating on multiple timelines, as was the case with past installments, the episode opens in flashback on teenagers Sam (Skyler Gisondo) and Violet (Nina Bloomgarden), who make their way down into the caverns of the enigmatic Pasaje as the hurricane at the center of the story hits, after falling asleep in the jungle. Inside the caves, they find waters that swiftly rise and trap them, with the pair for a moment seeming to have met their end.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for The Resort Episode 7, “La Pubertad Matrimonio.”] The Resort cast Nick Offerman for a reason. The seventh episode of the trippy Peacock comedy sees Offerman’s Murray return after multiple-episode hiatus (15 years in the world of the show). And the episode opens with the reveal of Murray’s new Indiana Jones-like persona. If you’ve been craving a Ron Swanson-like character from Offerman in recent years, complete with the actor’s delightfully absurd humor, this is it. Here, The Resort creator Andy Siara (Palm Springs) breaks down the return of Violet’s (Nina Bloomgarden) father: how director and co-star Ben Sinclair pitched the role to him, how the character developed from there, and more to TV Insider ahead of next week’s finale. Plus, learn how the show’s score pulled from John Williams scores to give a true Indiana Jones feel behind Murray’s addition to the jungle-perusing team.

The Resort is one of the best series of the year.
The hit Peacock comedy-drama drew rave reviews when it touched down on the streaming service last month.
Now, NBC will give potential fans the a way to watch the series premiere without paying.
A special airing of the premiere will air on NBC Wednesday, August 24 at 9 p.m.

NBCUniversal is giving a big boost to The Resort.
The comedic thriller starring Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper will air this week on NBC as the media company looks to the broadcast network to increase awareness to the series that bowed July 28 on Peacock.
The pilot for the series from creator/showrunner Andy Siara (Palm Springs, Lodge 49) and exec producer Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot, Homecoming) has been scheduled to air Wednesday, Aug. 24, at 9 p.m. after a live-results telecast of America’s Got Talent. The latter series ranks as NBC’s most watched show of the summer for an impressive 16th straight year.
In success, the hope is that the big and broad AGT audience will stay tuned for the re-airing of The Resort pilot and then head to Peacock to binge the rest of the season ahead of the show’s Sept.

Siara also chatted with TV Insider about all things Episode 5, streaming now, breaking down how its plot poses the questions that were answered in Episode 4. Trippy, we know. For starters, as a director, Sinclair said, “I saw my service as being one of tone and mood, making this thing funny on top of being a mystery” in order to avoid letting the mystery be told in the typical “one clue leads to the next” way. “When it feels...

I mean a show set in a tropical vacation environment created by Andy Siara and starring Cristin Milioti, the show screamed similarities to the indie hit ‘Palm Springs.’Luckily, ‘The Resort’ manages to play out as its own, original idea.

“The Resort” opens with the beachy beat of David Byrne and Brian Eno’s “Strange Overtones,” — strange indeed, as the song plays under an epigraph with something slightly wrong.
Two quotes wipe across the screen. First: “The pursuit to capture your past is a waste of time. The past lives in the past and is therefore non-existent in the present. Time travel has not been invented.” These words are credited to Illán Iberra’s 1978 book “El Espejo,” or “The Mirror” in English. Next, a retrraction: in 1993’s “La Desilución del Tiempo” (“The Disappointment of Time”), Iberra writes, “I made many idiotic and pretentious statements in my youth.”
Episode 1 of the Peacock adventure comedy is titled “The Disappointment of Time,” and at first, it seems that creator/showrunner Andy Siara (“Palm Springs”) is hoping to position the ideas of “The Resort” in conversation with Iberra’s work. But Iberra doesn’t exist.

When Emma (Cristin Milioti) and Noah (William Jackson Harper) arrive at a Yucatan-area beachfront getaway at the beginning of the new Peacock series “The Resort,” they’re not expecting to dwell on the past. Sure, their trip comes under the guise of celebrating ten years of marriage, but as they and their resort mates soon agree, that anniversary trip is intended to be just as much about what lies ahead.
That all changes when a mishap on a day trip excursion starts Emma on a serpentine path through a local unsolved mystery involving two young visitors to the area over the 2007 holiday season. Slowly and assuredly, “The Resort” becomes a two-pronged play, with Emma and a reluctant Noah searching for the truth, interspersed with what did happen for and to Sam (Skyler Gisondo) and Violet (Nina Bloomgarden) in those nights around Christmas.

“Unique,” “mysterious,” “bizarre,” “wild,” and “like nothing you’ve ever seen before”—these are just a few of the phrases the cast of Peacock’s upcoming thriller/mystery/romance series The Resort used to describe the series when speaking to Den of Geek during San Diego Comic-Con. But it’s possible that none of their answers actually go far enough.
Okay, okay, maybe star Cristin Milioti’s declaration that the show “is as if Romancing the Stone and Jurassic Park were combined, but also were about the disappointment of getting older” comes close. But it’s still not quite there.

On the surface, The Resort feels familiar. Or, at the very least, as though it should be familiar. A pair of overworked millennials head to a Mexican resort on the Mayan Riviera to celebrate their tenth anniversary, a trip that seems to...

Andy Siara wants to make you laugh, and then cry, and then laugh again. And with his latest series, “The Resort,” which he spent eight years developing, he’s hoping it’ll do just that.
The executive producer describes his comedic thriller, which begins streaming this Thursday on Peacock, as “having one foot on the banana peel and the other in the grave,” he told TheWrap in a new interview.
“The Resort” follows Cristin Milioti’s Emma and William Jackson Harper’s Noah who decide while on their 10th anniversary vacation to try and solve a case about two young people who went missing from a nearby hotel 15 years earlier. But really, it’s also a reflection of Siara’s own journey with trying to recapture the past and his realization that nostalgia isn’t always a positive force. Hence the crying.

To say that “The Resort” has more to offer than it seems is saying something, considering just how much it already has at first glance. Created by “Palm Springs” writer Andy Siara, and with a stacked cast led by the always killer Caitlin Milioti and William Jackson Harper, the series unpacks a mystery that only gets wilder, deeper, and more disorienting with each passing episode. One of the year’s most intriguing TV surprises, “The Resort” will deserve a bigger audience than it’ll likely get on Peacock.
In the beginning, Siara and Allison Miller’s “The Resort” presents itself as a relatively straightforward story, albeit one unfolding in two parallel timelines. In 2007, Violet (Nina Bloomgarden) and Sam (Skyler Gisondo) meet at a resort in Mexico before disappearing into thin air the night before a catastrophic hurricane. In 2022, Emma (Milioti) and her husband Noah (Harper) stumble upon the first clue...

At the heart of nearly every character and every action in The Resort is a variation on the same question: What is the point? Does an idle doodle have to have a point? What about a cryptic, vaguely sinister-looking mural? What’s the point of a mystery if there are no answers? What is the point of life, with all its attendant tragedies and disappointments — or is life itself the point of life, since every moment is the result of every moment that came before it?
Inevitably, this search for meaning circles around to what might be the biggest question of all, at least in this specific context: What is the point of The Resort?
As a mystery, it’s no great shakes. Its serpentine plot starts strong before getting lost in the weeds, ultimately arriving at a destination that hardly feels worth...

Amazon keeps its hand in the comic book adaptation game with Paper Girls, Shark Week continues and a pair of CW series have finales (one for good). They’re among the TV and streaming highlights for July 27-Aug. 2.
Below is The Hollywood Reporter‘s rundown of premieres, returns and specials over the next seven days. It would be next to impossible to watch everything, but let THR point the way to worthy options for the coming week. All times are Et/Pt unless noted.
The Big Show
It’s a supernaturally tinged, 1980s-set drama centered on kids who ride bikes, but Stranger Things, this is not. Paper Girls is an adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang’s award-winning comic book about four girls who, while on their newspaper delivery routes in 1988, become caught up in a war between rival factions of time travelers.

At first brief glance, The Resort may seem like The White Lotus. But while the Peacock and HBO titles may have crime mysteries and vacation dramas connecting families and hotel staff in common, that’s where the similarities end. Led by Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper, Peacock’s The Resort (premiering July 28 with its first three episodes) is a mind-bending series that would do well with an introduction from The Twilight Zone‘s Rod Serling. It’s Palm Springs screenwriter Andy Siara’s latest addition to the increasingly popular genre of multiverses, tales messing with time, and as star Luis Gerardo Méndez (Narcos: Mexico) describes it to TV Insider, “what time does to you” and how it both “destroys everything and heals everything.” Peacock describes the comedic thriller as a multi-generational, coming-of-age love story disguised as a fast-paced mystery about the disappointment of time.

A trailer for the comedic thriller released Wednesday shows Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper trying to solve a case about two young people who went missing from a resort 15 years earlier, while they’re on a vacation to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
