Palm Royale, a new show loosely based on the novel “Mr. & Mrs. American Pie” by Juliet McDaniel recently premiered on March 20 on Apple TV+.

The new series features an ensemble cast, which includes Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Ricky Martin and special guests Bruce Dern and Carol Burnett, and follows the character of Maxine Simmons (Wiig) as she attempts to break into Palm Beach high society.

Martin, who plays Robert in the series, recently spoke to Town & Country about working alongside esteemed comedy greats Burnett and Wiig, and when asked if their presence was intimidating admitted:

“First of all, I’m always nervous! I’m always nervous to jump into anything, any new project. It doesn’t matter if it’s through music, that I’ve been doing forever, or acting, or entertaining: I always get nervous. That’s something that every artist goes through, and we just have to accept it is what it is.”

He added: “Then on top of that, you bring Carol Burnett, Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Allison Janney to the mix—yeah, I think I need to go to the spa after this and practice a little bit of yoga! What I mean by this is: it’s what they represent. So what I did is, I walked in with a lot of humility. I brought my notepad and I started writing notes and learning from them. The moment you think you know it all, you lose. If you have maestros like them in front of you every day working and giving their best at their craft, it’s nothing but a present.”
