‘Palm Royale’: Amber Chardae Robinson & Mindy Cohn Talk New Detective Duo

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Palm Royale Season 2 Episode 2 “Maxine Serves a Swerve.”] Palm Royale‘s plots are wilder than the Pucci prints favored by the Palm Beach society women who populate this 1970-set, frothy, funny, feminist drama from executive producers Abe Sylvia and Laura Dern. Key to the second episode’s labyrinthine developments for social climber Maxine Dellacorte (Kristen Wiig) and her frenemies was a new pairing; FBI agent Virginia Lyons (Amber Chardae Robinson) deputized Ann Holiday (Mindy Cohn), the society editor of The Shiny Sheet, Palm Beach’s gossip rag. We dished with the new crime fighters. In Season 1, Virginia was working at a women’s bookstore. The Season 2 premiere revealed her as an FBI agent.
