Peacock's new black comedy The Resort is a tantalizing tale of a married couple in their thirties who begin to realize they may be growing in different directions.

From the creator of the time-loop comedy Palm Springs, Andy Siara, The Resort is another story about time - and how little we have of it - and it's something that both Cristin Milioti and William Jackson Harper say it was something on their minds while filming.

"Something I am kicking around is how fast you go from feeling like there is so much time to fill and now it feels like all I want is more time," Cristin, 37, told HELLO! at San Diego Comic Con.

"At 25, I didn't think time was that valuable. And it comes like a sledgehammer at 35 - and that can be fortifying and joyful."

William, 42, agreed, sharing that he is realizing how "finite" time is, admitting: "I am working through it - I don't know how I think about it yet."

Cristin and William star as Emma and Noah who become embroiled in a 15-year mystery

Luis Gerardo Méndez stars as the resort's head of security and his character spans 20 years, which he says allowed him to consider the ways that time changes a person.

"I get to play this character from 30 to 50 and I was always so intrigued by what time does to you, when your dreams are broken and then how you reinvent yourself and see life," he shared.

"So that was a cool exploration in this show for me."

The first three episodes of The Resort are on Peacock now.
