Ricky Martin is turning up the temperature this fall, and Palm Royale fans are about to feel the heat in all the best ways.
The superstar singer and actor has already had a wild year, from viral thirst traps to earning the very first VMA Latin Icon Award, but his latest project might be the juiciest chapter yet.
Season 2 of Apple TV’s Palm Royale has arrived, and Ricky is teasing a delicious mix of nudity, kissing, tension, and emotional depth that has social media collectively fanning itself.
In the new season he returns as Robert, a closeted gay man navigating love, secrecy, and self-acceptance in the glamorous but unforgiving world of 1960s Palm Beach.
Ricky reveals that Robert’s struggles hit closer to home than viewers might expect, because many of the fears queer men faced decades ago still linger today.
The singer explains that the uncertainty, the shame, and the instinct to hide are emotions LGBTQ+ people still grapple with, making the story eerily relevant in 2025.
While the themes are serious, Ricky promises plenty of sizzling moments too, reminding fans that showing skin has never exactly been one of his issues.
His online following already knows this well thanks to his now iconic bathroom selfies, which even his Palm Royale costar Leslie Bibb raved about in a recent interview.
Bibb joked that the lighting is so good that someone should hire an electrician to “keep those breakers running,” proving that even his coworkers are fans of his steamy posts.
Ricky says the intimacy and vulnerability in the series are meant to help viewers see themselves in Robert and find acceptance through his journey.
The singer believes the character’s story can resonate deeply with men who grew up wrestling with fear, identity, or the pressure to blend in.
Season 2 also picks up after a dramatic finale that saw Robert uncover secrets, take emotional risks, and face the consequences of living in a world built on appearances.
The new episodes promise romance, revelations, and a few surprising twists that bring both glitter and grit to the glamorous Palm Royale universe.
With Ricky Martin leading the charge, the show is set to deliver a bold mix of queer storytelling, retro glamour, and the kind of shirtless moments that keep the internet alive.
Palm Royale Season 2 is streaming now, inviting fans to dive headfirst into the drama, the desire, and the irresistible charm of one very unforgettable man.
