Apple TV’s Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed will premiere with the first two episodes on Wednesday, May 20, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through July 15. Additionally, Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why) and Murray Bartlett (The Last of Us, The White Lotus) have been revealed as part of the ensemble cast.
From creator and showrunner David J. Rosen, the dark comedy thriller follows newly divorced mom Paula (Tatiana Maslany) as she falls down a dangerous rabbit hole of blackmail, murder and youth soccer. Convinced that she witnessed a crime – while simultaneously struggling through a custody battle and an identity crisis – Paula begins her own investigation, one that could unravel a greater conspiracy while also holding the keys to rebuilding her family and sense of self.
The cast also includes Jake Johnson as Paula’s ex-husband Karl; Jessy Hodges as Mallory, Karl’s new wife, and a sharp lawyer; Jon Michael Hill as Detective Baxter; Kiarra Hamagami Goldberg as Geri, a fact-checker at a prestigious New York publication; Charlie Hall as Rudy, a fellow fact-checker and Geri’s work buddy; Nola Wallace as Hazel, Paula and Karl’s daughter; and Dolly De Leon as Detective Sofia Gonzalez. Details regarding Flynn and Bartlett’s roles are under wraps.
The half-hour, 10-episode season hails from Apple Studios and Counterpart Studios and is written and executive produced by creator and showrunner David J. Rosen. David Gordon Green served as director and executive producer. The series is also developed by and executive produced by Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon for Genre Films under their first-look deal with Apple TV, and Bard Dorros for Anonymous Content.Â
