Jennifer Garner is coming to Peacock

The Golden Globe®-winning and Emmy®-nominated actress will star in and executive produce The Five-Star Weekend, a new Peacock Original series based on author Elin Hilderbrand’s 2023 bestselling novel. 

The drama follows Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed food influencer 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’s picture-perfect life — her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter, and her growing pursuit of validation from her followers.  

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. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, they will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.     

Joining Garner on the creative team are creator, writer, and executive producer Bekah Brunstetter (Maid, This Is Us); writer and executive producer Beth Schacter (Billions); executive producer Sue Naegle (The Day of the Jackal, Pam and Tommy); executive producer Ali Krug (The Staircase, Pam and Tommy); and Hilderbrand, who is an executive producer.
