In the last few years (or decades), YA stories have taken over the beachy drama television space, but there's a brand new show coming to Peacock that TV fans of all ages are going to obsess over. The Five Star Weekend has an incredible cast led by Jennifer Garner (13 Going on 30) , Gemma Chan (Crazy Rich Asians), and Regina Hall (Scary Movie) just to name a few, and takes us into the world full of loss, friendship, and secrets. This is exactly the kind of drama I like to see. Here's the latest update on the new show — and if you love all things Jennifer Garner, check out our interview for her Christmas movie Family Switch!
Here's everything you need to know about The Five Star Weekend before it drops on Peacock summer 2026.
What is The Five Star Weekend about?
Amazon
The new show follows Hollis Shaw (Jennifer Garner), a cook and author who got famous for her recipes. But when she suffers a horrible loss, her grieving process begins to highlight all the areas of her life that aren't as perfect as her media personality might lead you to believe.
So, Hollis takes her friends — a childhood BFF, a friend from her 20s and her 30s, and a unexpected fifth guest — to her house in Nantucket for a weekend of regeneration. But before long, "boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed."
