Get ready for another weekend. Peacock has renewed The Five Star Weekend for a second season. The news comes just a month after the series’ release. In the first two weeks following its release, the series ranked in the top five for streaming shows.
Jennifer Garner, D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Harlow Jane, and Timothy Olyphant star in the series, which follows a woman after she experiences a major loss in her life.
Peacock shared the following about the plot of the series:
“The Five Star Weekend is centered on Hollis Shaw, a famed cook and best-selling author 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 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” will develop in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.”
Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBC & Peacock, said the following about the renewal:
“Audiences have completely embraced this wholly relatable story of friendship, and what it means to reconnect with the people in your life who truly make a difference. A huge thank you to our amazing cast, writers, directors, producers and to our magical crew who all worked tirelessly to bring Elin’s enormously popular book to the screen, and to the audiences who enjoyed watching this summer escape as much as we enjoyed making it.”
Jennifer Garner also spoke about the series. She said, “Regina, Chloe, Gemma, D’Arcy and I have had the best time talking to people about ‘The Five Star Weekend.’ We’re so happy you love it as much as we loved making it for you. If you’re curious about what’s going to happen next, imagine how we feel! We’re grateful to Elin, Bekah, our producers, directors and Peacock for hosting the ultimate girls’ weekend that will be season two.”
The premiere date for season two will be announced later.
