Apple TV's Palm Royale featured a groundbreaking three-minute fight sequence, earning Emmy nominations for its all-women stunt coordination team. Stunt coordinator Mallory Thompson and fight coordinator Josh Fried were inspired by the dramatic, over-the-top brawls from the classic series Dynasty.
The team meticulously planned and executed elaborate stunts for the episode "Maxine Finds Herself." This included intense physical action such as tumbling down stairs and crashing into furniture, culminating in a pool scene.
This historic Emmy recognition marks the first time an all-female stunt team from a single series was nominated in both stunt coordination and stunt performance categories in the same year. Performers Colby Lemmo and Sonja Wajih were also nominated for their work, highlighting the team's exceptional contribution.
