Peacock has ordered 8 episodes of THE RESORT, a multi-generational exploration of love, marriage, and family vacations, set amidst one of the Mayan Riviera’s most bizarre unsolved mysteries.
“Andy and Esmail Corp have a distinct point of view exploring off-kilter, genre-bending storytelling that is infused with humanity and compelling characters,” said Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBC Universal Television, and Streaming. “THE RESORT has everything viewers are looking for in their next escape drama – thrill, mystery, love, and a tropical backdrop.”
“THE RESORT is a dream-come-true collaboration between Andy and Esmail Corp, two creative forces who from ‘Palm Springs‘ to ‘Mr. Robot‘ has continued to reinvent and subvert genre with heart. By combining an unsolved crime investigation with an exploration of marriage in a tropical location, they have designed a show for the Peacock audience that is fresh, fun, and relatable,” said Beatrice Springborn, President of UCP.
Siara’s film “Palm Springs,” which he wrote and stars Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, was one of the most talked-about projects out of Sundance last year as it sold to Hulu/Neon for the highest number in the festival’s history. The film received a Golden Globe nomination and the screenplay won Best First Screenplay at the Film Independent Spirit Awards.
Previously, Siara was a staff writer on “Lodge 49” and toured the country with his indie rock band The Henry Clay People. Following several albums, thousands of miles doing laps around the country, performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, etc. he headed to AFI and received an MFA in Screenwriting in 2015.
