“Five Star Weekend” Renewed At Peacock

Peacock has renewed its recently launched Jennifer Garner-led drama TV series “The Five Star Weekend” for a second season.

Though originally set as a limited series, creator Bekah Brunstetter has frequently indicated a desire to expand the story beyond the events of Elin Hilderbrand’s 2023 novel.

She’s got her wish as NBCUniversal indicates that the series, which launched four weeks ago, has become Peacock’s most-watched scripted series of all time in terms of overall reach.

The title has reached 2.1 billion minutes watched to date, and ranked among Nielsen’s top five streaming original series in its first two weeks.

Garner plays Hollis Shaw – a famous cook and author who is grieving her late husband. 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 fans.

To overcome grief and find herself again, she hosts a weekend away at her luxurious coastal house on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life – childhood, college, motherhood – and one surprise guest.

The group soon develop in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed. D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Harlow Jane and Timothy Olyphant co-star.

Brunstetter, Sue Naegle, Ali Krug, Minkie Spiro, Jennifer Garner, Merri Howard, Beth Schacter and Hilderbrand executive produce.
