\n\t\u201cThe Five Star Weekend\u201d has been renewed for a second season at Peacock.<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on Elin Hilderbrand\u2019s 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, \u201cUnable to move forward, the death starts to expose the cracks in Hollis\u2019s picture-perfect life \u2014 her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter and her growing pursuit of validation from her fans.\u00a0In\u00a0an effort to\u00a0overcome grief and find herself again, Hollis gets the idea to host a weekend away at her house on\u00a0Nantucket with three friends from\u00a0different stages\u00a0in her life \u2014 childhood, college, motherhood \u2014 and one surprise guest.\u00a0Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the five \u2018stars\u2019 develop in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.\u201d Along with Garner, the cast includes D\u2019Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chlo\u00eb Sevigny, Harlow Jane and Timothy Olyphant.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Five Star Weekend\u201d was originally billed as a limited series, though creator Bekah Brunstetter consistently indicated she was interested in expanding the story beyond the events of the novel. \u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of ideas,\u201d she said in an interview with Variety<\/em>. \u201cFrom the beginning, we thought, \u2018In a perfect world, well, there\u2019s five Stars. Who is the new fifth Star?\u2019 That\u2019s a fun setup, and then you could focus a little bit on a different Star every season. So you get five trips, five Stars, or four trips and a new fifth Star every season.\u201d She also noted that the writers have \u201ca ski idea. I think we would do another warm [location] and then a cold, but it would go to different places, like a \u2018White Lotus\u2019 vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to NBCUniversal, \u201cThe Five Star Weekend\u201d is Peacock\u2019s most-watched scripted series of all time in terms of overall reach. It premiered on July 9 and has reached 2.1 billion minutes watched to date, and ranked among Nielsen\u2019s top five streaming original series in its first two weeks. The release of the project also boosted Hilderbrand\u2019s novel to the Top 10 of the New York Times bestseller list.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrunstetter executive produced \u201cThe Five Star Weekend\u201d alongside Sue Naegle, Ali Krug, Minkie Spiro, Jennifer Garner, Merri Howard, Beth Schacter and Hilderbrand. Minkie Spiro directed the pilot. Universal Global Television is the studio. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAudiences 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,\u201d reads a statement from Lisa Katz, president of scripted content at NBC and Peacock. \u201cA huge thank you to our amazing cast, writers, directors, producers and to our magical crew who all worked tirelessly to bring Elin\u2019s enormously popular book to the screen, and to the audiences who enjoyed watching this summer escape as much as we enjoyed making it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s such a joy and privilege to create a world that people want to keep living in,\u201d said Brunstetter. \u201cI\u2019m so thrilled by the chance to give fans of the show more time with the stars, and dig even further into these incredible characters. Knowing how deeply committed they are to this trip, I can\u2019t wait to take them on their next adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRegina, Chloe, Gemma, D\u2019Arcy and I have had the best time talking to people about \u2018Five Star Weekend.\u2019 We\u2019re so happy you love it as much as we loved making it for you,\u201d said Garner. \u201cIf you\u2019re curious about what\u2019s going to happen next, imagine how we feel!\u00a0We\u2019re grateful to Elin, Bekah, our producers, directors and Peacock for hosting the ultimate girls\u2019 weekend that will be season two.\u201d<\/p>\n
