Hulu's Palm Springs cast features two talented stars in the lead with a supporting cast filled with notable faces. The romantic comedy directed by Max Barbakow is lead by Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti. Samberg also produced the title as part of The Lonely Island's production company. Palm Springs, which also marks as Barbakow's directorial debut, premiered at Sundance Film Festival in January 2020 before dropping on Hulu.
A wedding ceremony in Palm Springs may look ordinary but that's not the case when it comes to two guests. A mysterious cave near the venue holds the entrance into an infinite time loop. Those who enter are forced to relive the wedding day despite any attempt to escape, including death. As the two guests deal with the consequences of the loop, they also grow closer as a way to make the best out of the situation.
Palm Springs has an ample amount of comedy, but it also dives deep in emotional suffering and self-realization. Samberg and Milioti are surrounded by a handful of notable actors in the original movie. Here's a complete Palm Springs cast and character guide.
Andy Samberg As Nyles
Andy Samberg plays Nyles, the male lead of Palm Springs. He's in the southern California town for the wedding with his girlfriend Misty, one of the bridesmaids. It's established early that Nyles is stuck in an infinite time loop, reliving the wedding day over and over again. With the diminished hope of escaping, Nyles becomes carefree until a new person enters the mysterious loop. Samberg rose to prominence through Saturday Night Live before starring in movies like Hot Rod, Celeste and Jesse Forever, and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Aside from serving as a member of the comedy music group The Lonely Island, Sandberg currently stars in NBC's Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Cristin Milioti As Sarah
Cristin Milioti stars opposite of Samberg as Sarah, the cynical older sister of the bride. Sarah has had trouble in her past and is treated as the black sheep of the family. After meeting Nyles during the reception, she manages to get herself stuck in the time loop. Although Sarah is reluctant to accept her new reality, she learns to come face-to-face with an unbelievable situation. Milioti is best known for portraying Tracy McConnell, aka the "Mother," in How I Met Your Mother, though she's also had roles in The Wolf of Wall Street, A to Z, The Mindy Project, Fargo, and Black Mirror, not to mention her extensive theatre work.
