Andy Samberg’s romantic comedy Palm Springs will debut on Hulu in July

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Andy Samberg's romantic comedy PALM SPRINGS made a bit of a splash earlier this year when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and was purchased by Hulu and Neon for a whopping $17,500,000.69, which broke the record for the biggest sale in the history of the Sundance Film Festival by, you guessed it, $0.69.

PALM SPRINGS stars Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine Nine) and Cristin Milioti (How I Met Your Mother) as a pair of guests at a wedding who have a chance encounter with one another before things get complicated when they're trapped in an infinite time-loop and are unable to escape the venue, themselves, or each other. If you're wondering just when you can see PALM SPRINGS for yourself, well, it was announced today that PALM SPRINGS will debut on Hulu, as well as select drive-in-theaters, on July 10th. In addition to Samberg and Milioti, PALM SPRINGS also stars J.K. Simmons (JUSTICE LEAGUE), Tyler Hoechlin (Supergirl), Dale Dickey (HELL OR HIGH WATER), and Peter Gallagher (Grace and Frankie).

Our own Chris Bumbray caught the film when it played at the Sundance Film Festival, and while he admits that the time-loop premise isn't exactly original in his review, it's "never been done through the lens of The Lonely Island" and winds up being a "frequently hilarious indie comedy that should find plenty of appreciative viewers." Bumbray added that Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti are perfectly cast in the film, with an infectious chemistry and vibe, and "what’s interesting is that the time loop aspect is made to be secondary here, with the emphasis being on their growing relationship as the two gradually get to know each other over a period that likely stretches into years and years." PALM SPRINGS will debut on Hulu on July 10, 2020.
