'High Desert' cast talks drugs, money, chaos, family, and working with Patricia Arquette in homerun series on AppleTV+

Silence on Set

We spoke to the cast of AppleTV+'s new hit show, High Desert, set to premiere in a few days. We spoke to Bernadette Peters, Christine Taylor, Keir O’Donnell, Weruche Opia & Rupert Friend. First of all, we talked to the legend that is Bernadette Peters, and she was wonderful. She was funny but honest. She was excited to step into a role and show like nothing she had ever seen. Meanwhile, Christine Taylor and Keir O'Donnell joked that they play the "normal" ones in this drama/comedy. We talked about a scene with them heading into a restaurant at a table that just had us laughing. Finally, we spoke with Weruche Opia and Rupert Friend, both of which were so excited for fans to see what's to come this season, excited for the chaos they got to play, and gave a lot of propers to the legends Peters and Arquette (everyone gave props to those legends). This show is so much fun; the actors were just a delight. Enjoy!
