William Jackson Harper, Cristin Milioti, Skyler Gisondo to Star in ‘The Resort’ at Peacock

William Jackson Harper and Cristin Milioti have been cast as Noah and Emma, the leading roles in Peacock’s upcoming comedic thriller series “The Resort.” Additionally, Skyler Gisondo, Ben Sinclair and Parvesh Cheena are set to join the ensemble.

“The Resort” is a multi-generational coming-of-age romance disguised as a fast-paced mystery about the disappointment of time. An anniversary trip puts a marriage to the test when the couple finds themselves embroiled in one of the Mayan Riviera’s most bizarre unsolved mysteries, which took place fifteen years prior.

Noah and Emma are both teachers who are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary. Noah is described as perfectly content to float through the mundane reality of his existence, while Emma has found herself at a plateau in their marriage before they’re pulled into the Mayan mystery.

Gisondo will star as Sam, who is on vacation with his parents and girlfriend in 2007 at the Oceana Vista Resort. Sinclair plays the recurring role of resort owner Alex, while Cheena recurs as Ted, who’s on vacation with his husband, also named Ted.
