Palm Springs follows carefree Nyles (Andy Samberg) and reluctant maid of honour Sarah (Cristin Milioti) who have a
chance encounter at a Palm Springs wedding. Things soon get complicated when the pair find themselves unable to escape
the venue, themselves, or each other. The film stars Andy Samberg (Nyles), Cristin Milioti (Sarah), J.K. Simmons (Roy), Meredith Hagner (Misty), Camila Mendes (Tala), Tyler Hoechlin (Abe), and Peter Gallagher (Howard). Palm Springs is directed by Max Barbakow and written by Andy Siara. The film was financed by Limelight and
produced by Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, Becky Sloviter, Jorma Taccone and Limelight partners Dylan Sellers and Chris
Parker. Gabby Revilla Lugo serves as executive producer.
Palm Springs will join thousands of movies and TV shows in the Prime Video catalogue, including Amazon Originals Borat
Subsequent Moviefilm, The Big Sick, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Boys.
