Peacock has officially released the full trailer for The Five Star Weekend, an emotional new drama mini-series based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling novel of the same name. Blending friendship, grief, secrets, and self-discovery against the beautiful coastal backdrop of Nantucket, the series looks like a heartfelt mix of emotional healing and luxury drama. With an ensemble cast led by Jennifer Garner, the show is already generating attention among fans of relationship-driven storytelling.
Jennifer Garner stars as Hollis Shaw, a beloved food influencer, bestselling author, and celebrated cook known for her warm personality and perfect online image. However, after suffering a devastating personal loss, Hollis begins to realize that her seemingly flawless life is slowly falling apart. The tragedy exposes tension in her marriage, emotional distance with her daughter, and her growing dependence on public validation through fame and social media. Struggling to move forward, Hollis comes up with a unique idea — inviting friends from different stages of her life to spend a healing weekend together at her luxurious Nantucket home.
The series follows Hollis as she reunites with friends representing different chapters of her life, including childhood, her twenties, and her thirties, along with one mysterious surprise guest. As the weekend unfolds, buried emotions and hidden truths begin to surface. What initially starts as a peaceful getaway slowly turns into an emotional journey filled with honesty, confrontation, forgiveness, and unexpected revelations. The trailer hints at a deeply personal story where friendships are tested and relationships evolve in surprising ways.
The cast includes Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Gemma Chan, D'Arcy Carden, Harlow Jane, and Timothy Olyphant as Hollis’s first boyfriend Jack. The chemistry between the cast members appears to be one of the biggest strengths of the series, balancing emotional drama with moments of warmth, humor, and comfort. Filmed on location in Nantucket, the mini-series also delivers stunning coastal visuals that add to its relaxing yet emotionally layered atmosphere.
The Five Star Weekend is created by Bekah Brunstetter, with additional writing by Beth Schacter, and episodes directed by Jennifer Morrison and Minkie Spiro. The adaptation aims to bring Elin Hilderbrand’s popular novel to life while exploring themes of friendship, loss, identity, and personal growth. While the trailer leans into cozy and emotional storytelling, it also promises enough drama and tension to keep audiences invested throughout the series.
The mini-series premieres on Peacock on July 9, 2026. For viewers looking for an emotional summer drama filled with friendship, healing, and seaside luxury, The Five Star Weekend could become one of the season’s most comforting binge-worthy releases.
