During the second season, Italy served as the backdrop for the ensemble cast including, Oscar-winner F. Murray Abraham, Aubrey Plaza, Theo James, and Emmy-winner Jennifer Coolidge. The first season was set on the island of Maui in Hawaii. The show introduces a group of complex characters that despite being in a beautiful and relaxing location, their personal drama and secrets follow them on vacation, slowly unraveling with every episode.
