Elsewhere, Matt Dillon, Weruche Opia, Kier O’Donnell and Christine Taylor star as Peggy’s on-and-off parolee lover, best friend and straight-laced brother and sister respectively.

And, for anyone counting, the cast of this must-watch Apple TV+ series boasts a total of 16 Emmy acting nominations and five wins between them.

Phew.

What are people saying about High Desert?

Speaking about the series with Los Angeles Daily News, Arquette promises: “It’s risqué material. It’s a farce. It’s a counterculture comedy. It’s got all these strange characters who are, like, lost a little bit and making a lot of mistakes… [so] there’s a lot of love in it, and there’s a lot of family in it. And a lot of people make a lot of dumb decisions and dumb mistakes and chaos ensues everywhere they go.”

Peters adds: “It is this funny show going on, and irreverent, and a murder mystery. And yet there’s this underlying loss that Peggy’s going through, and just trying to move forward.”

When is High Desert available for streaming?
