Martin spoke about his character and the show in an interview with Decider. “Regardless of what happens to my character, I think the audience needs to have another season because it’s so rich,” he said. Without revealing any spoilers, Martin teased many of the things that could happen if the show were to continue for more seasons.

“The cliffhanger is insane,” he said, delving into some spoiler territory, so read on carefully. “And the idea that Kristen Wiig’s character can confront Leslie Bibb’s character eventually and Kaia Gerber’s character in all this, and the fact that Carol Burnett’s character is alive and kicking with the power of a matriarch is just amazing,” he said. “I’m just hoping for many more seasons to come.”

Will there be a season 2?

As of this writing, there have been no official updates on whether or not there will be a second season of the series. Still, that’s no cause for fan alarm. Nowadays, streamers like Netflix and Apple TV+, which hosts “Palm Royale,” usually wait some time until the season is over before announcing future developments.
