Starring Joshua Jackson, famous for his roles in “Dawson’s Creek” and “The Affair,” the series follows Dr. Max, who is tasked with maintaining the health of guests while ensuring their vacations remain delightful.
The cast also features Don Johnson, recognized from “Miami Vice” and “Rebel Ridge,” as Captain Robert Massey. Joining them are Phillipa Soo from “Hamilton” and Sean Teale from “Mother of the Bride,” with special guest appearances including country music superstar Shania Twain.
