He chose to be a private investigator. The story takes place in the beautiful setting of the Yucca Valley, California. On April 19, 2023, the trailer for High Desert was uploaded to YouTube, and it sparked people’s interest in the show.
According to the synopsis for the new Apple TV+ show, Peggy can’t wait to start anew after her mother’s death. It is said that Peggy and her mother live in Yucca Valley, California, a small village in the desert. However, Peggy decides to become a private detective to start a life after her mother’s death.
High Desert reunites Patricia Arquette and Ben Stiller.
After a previous comedic appearance in Flirting with Disaster, actress Patricia Arquette and director Ben Stiller reunited in this series. They have also worked together on the AFI award-winning Apple film Severance and the TV series Escape at Dannemora. Another creative gathering will be a meeting of High Desert executive producers and directors Ben Stiller and Jay Roach. The two previously collaborated on the comedy trilogy Meet the Parent, Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers.
The film is directed by Jay Roach, but it was previously announced that Ben Stiller would direct the first episode. Nancy Fichman, Katie Ford and Jennifer Hoppe-House created the show, in which Patricia Arquette will star and executive produce alongside Ben Stiller.
Brief overview of the premise and characters of the upcoming show
According to the official description, High Desert will have a total of eight episodes, with the first three set to be released on the premiere date. According to the series’ trailer and synopsis, Peggy is an unorthodox woman who makes questionable decisions in life. This shows that her mother has always accepted Peggy’s decisions in the past. On the other hand, Peggy is trying to restart her life after the death of their mother, while her siblings continue to judge her for her past drug use.
When Peggy decided to become a private investigator, the movie seemed to have a family drama with funny and daring elements and a great cast. The car crashes that merge with Peggy’s personality will also be memorable.
The following actors will also appear in the film:
- Denny, Peggy’s ex, is undeniably a tireless and charmingly pardoned executive played by Matt Dillon.
- Rupert Friend plays Guru Bob, a former local host who changes his name to a celebrity in the mystical desert after a traumatic experience.
- Peggy’s best friend Carol—an annoying emergency doctor fiancée and an easygoing new stepmother—played by Weruche Opia.
Brad Garrett, Bernadette Peters, Carmine Giovinazzo, Christine Taylor, Jeffrey Vincent Parise, Carlo Rota and Tracy Vilar are among the other actors.
