THE RESORT INTERVIEWS WITH THE CREATOR AND CAST

The Resort is quirky new series that must not be missed!

A murder mystery, an exotic locale, and a very cool cast, the new series “The Resort” now airing on Showcase in Canada will be your new viewing obsession.

The Resort, a thrilling combination of mystery and rom-com, starring internet faves like Cristin Milioti, William Jackson-Harper, Skyler Gisondo, and Nick Offerman.

The Resort comes from Palm Springs co-writer Andy Siara, and centers around Emma (Milioti) and Noah (Jackson-Harper) are a couple trying to revive their relationship by taking a trip to the Mayan Riviera. By the back half of the first episode, they stumble on a different way to revive the spark. No couples therapy needed. They’ll solve a decades old disappearance case instead.

The show is fun, quirky and really clever. Viewers will undoubtedly make a connection between The Resort and The White Lotus, HBO’s 2021 smash hit from Mike White. While the basic premise is similar—a murder case casting a dark shadow over a glamorous paradise—the tones of the respective series are strikingly different. Whereas The White Lotus is a sharp satire, The Resort leans more into mystery and eeriness.

I spoke with creator Andy Sierra, and stars Nina Bloomgarter, Luis Gerardo Mendez and Gabriela Cartol about working on this fun and unique series.

The Resort airs Sundays at 9pm on Showcase in Canada
