How do you get comedy legend Carol Burnett to sign on to your TV show when her character spends multiple episodes in a coma?
That was a task for Abe Sylvia, creator, showrunner and executive producer of the new Apple TV+ series “Palm Royale," streaming now, about a woman's efforts to enter high society.
Burnett “was curious as to where it goes," revealed Sylvia, who assured her that she would have more to do.
Fortunately, Sylvia already had a great cast lined up — Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern (also an executive producer), Allison Janney and Leslie Bibb — which impressed Burnett.
