In Palm Beach, luxury is the baseline. The real battle is for access, influence, and the kind of social legitimacy that can’t be bought with a wire transfer. Netflix’s new reality series Members Only: Palm Beach steps into that rarefied world of private clubs, couture events, and charity galas where every invitation feels like a verdict and every friendship can turn into a strategic alliance.
Set in Florida’s most status-driven circles, the series follows five women moving through a social ecosystem defined by inherited tradition, unspoken rules, and the constant pressure to stay “in.” As cast member Maria Cozamanis puts it in Netflix’s first-look coverage, “Florida is status. If you aren’t part of the in crowd, then you’re not in at all.” Here is everything you need to know about Members Only: Palm Beach – from the plot and cast to reviews and release date. The trailer is at the bottom of the article.

What Members Only: Palm Beach is about
Members Only: Palm Beach follows a group of women navigating Palm Beach County’s elite social arena, where the rules are rarely spoken aloud but always enforced. The show frames the community as a polished surface with sharper edges underneath: reputations are built in public, conflicts are managed through manners, and hierarchy is constantly being renegotiated.

Netflix describes the series as a look at “the unspoken rules, inherited traditions, and high-stakes hierarchies” of one of America’s most exclusive circles, where “power, influence, and access are the true currency.” In practice, that means shifting alliances, status anxiety, and the constant threat of being quietly excluded.
Members Only: Palm Beach cast: the main characters
Hilary Musser is positioned as a key force in the group, combining a no-nonsense presence with deep familiarity with the Palm Beach social machine. In Netflix’s cast profile, Musser emphasizes that her lifestyle is not about frivolity: “I work 18 hours a day. Nothing is handed to me.”
Taja Abitbol brings a mix of wellness-world ambition and social savvy, with an insider’s sense of how the community operates. Abitbol tells Netflix that “Palm Beach relationships are layered, glamorous, and unpredictable,” adding, “There’s a lot more beneath the sunshine than anyone expects, because nobody goes lower than high society.” In PEOPLE’s trailer coverage, she also sums up the social ladder in stark architectural terms: “If Palm Beach society were a high-rise building, Hilary and I are definitely in the penthouses.”
Rosalyn Yellin moves through the scene with philanthropic confidence and an unfiltered streak. Her signature rule, quoted in Netflix’s cast guide, is pure Palm Beach code: “Darling, don’t show your boobs and your knees.” She also frames her role in society as connective tissue, telling Netflix she serves as “a connector and advocate for philanthropy.”
Ro-mina Ustayev arrives as the challenger to entrenched etiquette. In Netflix’s cast profile, she points directly at the friction line inside the community: “People say it’s very hard to make friends here, because the old money people don’t like the new money people.” Her presence tests how flexible the circle really is when someone refuses to flatten themselves into tradition.
Maria Cozamanis (also known as DJ TUMBLES) articulates the show’s central idea with blunt clarity. In PEOPLE’s trailer write-up, she says, “Florida is status,” making the series’ underlying premise explicit: belonging is not simply a matter of wealth, but of social permission.
Is Members Only: Palm Beach based on a true story?
The series is not adapted from a book or a single real-life case. It is a reality format built around the cast’s real social environment and the dynamics of Palm Beach’s elite culture as presented on the show.
Why watch Members Only: Palm Beach
If you enjoyed Bling Empire or Selling Sunset, this series fits naturally into that space, blending high-society reality TV with a sharper focus on hierarchy, etiquette, and the quiet mechanics of exclusion. It is glossy escapism with a social edge: the clothes and mansions are the backdrop, but the real story is who gets to belong.
