Palm Beach’s messiest social circle is officially back — and somehow even more deliciously unhinged. With Season 2 of Palm Royale now streaming on Apple TV, the world of high society returns with bigger secrets, higher stakes, and chaos that kicks off seconds after last season’s unforgettable Beach Ball meltdown.
Ricky Martin and Leslie Bibb return as two of the series’ most layered and compelling characters: Ricky Martin’s Robert Diaz, the devoted caregiver whose loyalty is constantly tested as he navigates love, denial, and the complicated dynamics between Norma and Maxine; and Leslie Bibb’s Dinah Donahue, a woman who finally steps into her own agency after inheriting unexpected power — learning that wielding it can be liberating, dangerous, and emotionally costly.
In Season 2, both characters evolve in ways that deepen the show’s central theme: what happens when the performance ends and people finally confront who they are without the veneer.
I sat down with Ricky Martin and Leslie Bibb to talk about stepping back into these roles right after the finale’s fallout, the emotional tug-of-war their characters face, the humor and darkness of Palm Beach’s off-season, and the surprising personal growth they each discovered through their characters.
This is my conversation with Ricky Martin and Leslie Bibb for Palm Royale Season 2.
