She added that the new season is “bigger, brighter,” filled with more drama and revealed secrets.
Working with Ricky Martin
“Everything. He’s just an incredible, open, generous, kind human being. And everyone on our show is in love with him!” said Kristen.
“He has this spirit about him... He’s so grounded, he’s sweet, he’s a light. He’s such a breath of fresh air to be around,” added Amber Chardae Robinson.
Amber Chardae Robinson on Her Role
Amber, who plays Virginia, compared her role in Palm Royale to her previous role in Judas and the Black Messiah:
“Judas and the Black Messiah prepared me for this a little bit. I was playing a revolutionary [in that film], and a Black Panther, but this is a little different, because in Judas and the Black Messiah, there was a specific community, and [for] Virginia, this community is completely opposite. She’s a fish out of water here.”
