“The Five Star Weekend” has been renewed for a second season at Peacock.

Based on Elin Hilderbrand’s 2023 novel of the same name, the drama series stars Jennifer Garner as Hollis Shaw, a famous cook and author who is grieving her late husband. The official series description reads, “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 fans. 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 — childhood, college, motherhood — and one surprise guest. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the five ‘stars’ develop in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.” Along with Garner, the cast includes D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Harlow Jane and Timothy Olyphant.
