How to Watch High Desert Online Free on Apple TV Plus from Anywhere

High Desert is a new dark comedy series that is set to premiere soon on the small screens, and we have the premiere date and everything else you may want to know. The best part is that you will be able to stream this title for free from anywhere in the world you may be.

The plot follows an on-again-off-again addict called Peggy. She lived in the small desert town of Yucca Valley, California, with her beloved but complicated mother, Rosalyn, and Peggy’s buttoned-up sister Dianne tried to make order of her sibling’s chaos.

After the latter passes away, Peggy chooses to make a new start and makes a life-changing decision to become a private investigator, even though she lacks all the necessary capabilities. Bruce, a private investigator whose business is circling the drain, becomes Peggy’s reluctant employer. 

Denny is Peggy’s ex, an undeniably charming parolee and a relentless operator. Guru Bob is a local ex-anchorman who rebrands himself as a mystic desert personality after a trauma. Along the way, we also meet Carol, Peggy’s closest friend, the bored fiancé of an ER doctor, and a permissive new stepmother who has a secret of her own. 

From the trailer, we can see she’s a slacker and has a fun flair - she does not notice a kidnapping while focusing on parking her car, and after succeeding in persuading Bruce to hire her, she carelessly tells him she doesn’t get up until 11 am.

The series is directed by Emmy Award winner Jay Roach, created by Nancy Fichman, Katie Ford, and Jennifer Hoppe, and executive produced by Ben Stiller. With this said, let's see when and how to watch High Desert online from anywhere, even on the go or while traveling abroad.
