Overview
- All eight episodes of The Five‑Star Weekend premiered on Peacock on Thursday, July 9, 2026, with a UK window scheduled for later release on Sky and NOW.
- The series follows Hollis Shaw, a high-profile food influencer who gathers four women for a Nantucket weekend after a life-shaking loss, and was filmed on location in Nantucket and in Los Angeles.
- Jennifer Garner stars as Hollis and serves as an executive producer, leading a cast that includes Regina Hall, Gemma Chan, D’Arcy Carden, Chloë Sevigny and Timothy Olyphant.
- Showrunner Bekah Brunstetter and the creative team made deliberate changes to Elin Hilderbrand’s 2023 novel for televisual pacing, and Hilderbrand has publicly said the series preserves the book’s spirit.
- Early reviews praise the ensemble chemistry, production design and comforting tone even as critics note a saccharine, low‑stakes feel, and Peacock has not announced a second season with any renewal likely tied to streaming viewership.
