Peacock Orders Drama 'The Five-Star Weekend' Starring Jennifer Garner

Peacock has today given a series order to the original drama series The Five-Star Weekend based on the novel by Elin Hilderbrand. Emmy Award-nominated actress Jennifer Garner (The Last Thing He Told Me, Alias) will star in and executive produce the series.





Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed food influencer known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor, 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 followers. 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, they will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.

Bekah Brunstetter (Maid, This Is Us) developed the drama. She will executive produce with Garner, Hilderbrand, Beth Schacter, Sue Naegle and Ali Krug. Universal Content Productions and Dinner Party Productions will produce.
