A Tropical Vacay Isn't so Relaxing in Peacock's 'The Resort' — How Many Episodes Are in the Show?
Published July 28 2022, 12:38 p.m. ET
A vacation to a tropical resort — one far, far away from the mundanity of everyday life, of your own personal Groundhog Day — is sometimes necessary. You expect it to be magical, to be relaxing, a getaway that'll have your stress melting away — but perhaps that's not realistic. In Peacock's upcoming dark comedy series The Resort, a tropical vacay turns into a mind-bending mess for a married couple on their 10th anniversary.
Emma (Cristin Milioti) and Noah (William Jackson Harper) travel to a resort in Yucatan, only to become obsessed with an unsolved mystery lurking in the area. The official synopsis relays that The Resort is "a multi-generational, coming-of-age love story disguised as a fast-paced mystery about the disappointment of time." Ah, yes, time truly is a letdown.
From the writer of Hulu's 2020 time-loop flick Palm Springs, Andy Siara, The Resort also stars Debby Ryan (Insatiable), Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Amber Rivera (Extortion), Nina Bloomgarden (Good Girl Jane), and Skyler Gisondo (Booksmart). The Resort promises a twisty ride worth taking — one we suggest taking with a delicious cocktail in a coconut. How many episodes make up Season 1?
