How to Watch
All eight episodes of The Five Star Weekend will debut Thursday, July 9, only on Peacock.
Adapted from Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling 2023 novel of the same name, the The Five Star Weekend is an eight-episode Peacock Original starring Garner as Hollis Shaw, a successful cook and author grappling with the sudden death of her husband.
Set on the small Massachusetts island of Nantucket, the series promises to deliver A-plus drama.
Garner, D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Harlow Jane, and Timothy Olyphant head up the main cast. Talented additional performers include Rob Huebel, David Denman, Josh Hamilton, West Duchovny, Judy Greer, Tory Devon Smith, Morrison Keddie, and Roberta Colindrez.
Per Peacock's official synopsis, "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."
