Peacock has renewed its original drama series The Five Star Weekend for a second season. While originally imagined as a limited series, the successful launch of the series on the streamer has prompted a quick pickup for more episodes.
Deals are already in place for Jennifer Garner, D'Arcy Carden, Regina Hall and Chloë Sevigny to return as stars for the second season.
Bekah Brunstetter developed the series based on the novel by Elin Hilderbrand. The showrunner and author executive produce with Garner, Sue Naegle, Ali Krug, Minkie Spiro, Merri Howard and Beth Schacter. Universal Content Productions, Taco Night Productions and Dinner Party Productions produce.
All eight episodes of the first season were released on July 9, 2026.
"Regina, Chloë, Gemma [Chan], D'Arcy and I have had the best time talking to people about Five Star Weekend," said Garner. "We're so happy you love it as much as we loved making it for you. If you're curious about what's going to happen next, imagine how we feel! We're grateful to Elin, Bekah, our producers, directors and Peacock for hosting the ultimate girls' weekend that will be season two."
"It's such a joy and privilege to create a world that people want to keep living in," added Brunstetter. "I'm so thrilled by the chance to give fans of the show more time with the stars, and dig even further into these incredible characters. Knowing how deeply committed they are to this trip, I can't wait to take them on their next adventure."
"Audiences have completely embraced this wholly relatable story of friendship, and what it means to reconnect with the people in your life who truly make a difference," shared Lisa Katz, President of Scripted Content, NBC and Peacock. "A huge thank you to our amazing cast, writers, directors, producers and to our magical crew who all worked tirelessly to bring Elin's enormously popular book to the screen, and to the audiences who enjoyed watching this summer escape as much as we enjoyed making it."
