Peacock Announces Premiere Date for New Drama 'The Five Star Weekend' Starring Jennifer Garner

Peacock has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original drama series The Five Star Weekend starring Jennifer Garner.







All eight episodes of the first season will be available on Thursday, July 16.

The drama centers on Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed cook and best-selling author known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor, who suffers a devastating loss. Unable to move forward, the death starts to expose the cracks in Hollis' picture-perfect life - her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter, and her growing pursuit of validation from her fans. In an effort to overcome grief and find herself again, Hollis gets the idea to host a weekend away at her house on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life: her childhood, her twenties, thirties, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the stars will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.

In addition to Garner, the drama stars D'Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Harlow Jane and Timothy Olyphant.

Recurring guest stars include Rob Huebel, David Denman, Josh Hamilton, West Duchovny, Judy Greer, Tory Devon Smith, Morrison Keddie and Roberta Colindrez.

Bekah Brunstetter developed the drama based on the novel by Elin Hilderbrand. The showrunner and author executive produce with Garner, Sue Naegle, Ali Krug, Merri Howard, Beth Schacter and director Minkie Spiro. Universal Content Productions and Dinner Party Productions produce.
