Around eight years ago, writer Andy Siara had an idea for a coming-of-age story, where a kid goes to a resort with his family on a vacation. There, the kid would meet a couple celebrating their anniversary.

But it gave him the broad strokes for the characters who would populate the upcoming Peacock series THE RESORT, with Skyler Gisondo playing Sam (the young man on vacation with his family) and William Jackson Harper and Cristin Milioti playing long-married couple Noah and Emma.
