Airdate: Palm Springs

Amazon Prime Video has picked up the rights to romantic comedy, Palm Springs, starring Andy Samberg alongside Cristin Milioti.

The film from Limelight, Lonely Island Classics, and FilmNation Entertainment broke records earlier this year for the biggest sale in the history of the Sundance Film Festival.

“Palm Springs is the perfect addition to Prime Video’s extensive collection of entertaining films, brought directly and exclusively to Prime members around the world”, said Brad Beale, Vice President, Worldwide Content Acquisition, Prime Video. “With captivating and hilarious performances, from Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons, and Peter Gallagher, Prime members will fall in love with this instant classic.”

Andy Samberg added: “We’re thrilled that Palm Springs is finally going to reach audiences outside of the U.S. and we hope that all the Prime members in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, France and the Netherlands enjoy the genre-bending ride!”

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.

Friday November 20 on Amazon Prime.
