High Desert canceled by Apple TV+

Patricia Arquette's comedy-drama High Desert is ending after one season. Apple has discontinued the series, which started May 17 and ended June 21. Arquette revealed the news on Instagram. "A lot of you have been asking about High Desert and if there's going to be a second season, we just found out it's not coming back. That's a sad downer for all of us," she said.



Arquette, who played Peggy, thanked the writers, crew and actors. "I loved Peggy and that punk rock world," she added. "You can't win everything and that sucks. I've got this cactus and we're going to cuddle it."

Arquette plays Peggy, an addict who decides to make a fresh start by becoming a private investigator after the death of her beloved mother she lived with in the small desert town of Yucca Valley, California.

Brad Garrett, Weruche Opia, Bernadette Peters and Rupert Friend also star, as do Christine Taylor, Matt Dillon and Eden Brolin.

High Desert was created and written by Nancy Fichman, Katie Ford and Jennifer Hoppe, who are also producing. Arquette also co-produces with Stiller, Nicky Weinstock and Jackie Cohn, Molly Madden and Tom Lassally and John Cameron. Roach, who also serves as executive producer, will direct all eight episodes of the Apple Studios project with Michelle Graham serving as co-executive producer.
