Chloë Sevigny Joins Peacock Series ‘The Five-Star Weekend'
Chloë Sevigny (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story) has boarded Peacock's upcoming drama The Five-Star Weekend as a series regular alongside star Jennifer Garner, who also executive produces, and Regina Hall. The series, created by Bekah Brunstetter based on the bestselling novel by The Perfect Couple author Elin Hilderbrand, centers on Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed food influencer 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 followers. 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: her childhood, her twenties, thirties, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, they will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.

Jennifer Garner to Star in TV Adaptation "The Five-Star Weekend" at Peacock
Peacock has ordered a series adaptation of the Elin Hilderbrand novel 'The Five-Star Weekend' with Jennifer Garner attached to star. The project was first reported to be in development at Peacock in April 2024 as part of Sue Naegle and Ali Krug's overall deal with UCP under their Dinner Party Productions banner. The official description of the series states: 'Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed food influencer known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor 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 followers. 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: her childhood, her twenties, thirties, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, they will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.' Bekah Brunstetter serves as creator, writer, and executive producer on 'The Five-Star Weekend,' with Beth Schacter also writing and executive producing. Garner will executive produce in addition to starring. Naegle and Krug executive produce via Dinner Party, with Hilderbrand also executive producing. UCP is the studio. This will be the second of Hilderbrand's novels to be adapted for the small screen. Previously, Netflix adapted Hilderbrand's novel 'The Perfect Couple' into a hit miniseries starring Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, and Dakota Fanning. That show debuted in September 2024 and spent six weeks on the Netflix English-language TV top 10 chart. Garner previously received four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her starring role in the hit ABC series 'Alias.' Currently, she stars in the Apple TV+ series 'The Last Thing He Told Me,' which is prepping its second season. Her other recent TV credits include the 'Party Down' revival at Starz and 'Camping' at HBO. In the film, Garner is known for starring in features like 'Dallas Buyers Club,' 'Love, Simon,' and '13 Going on 30.' She reprised the role of Elektra Natchios — whom she played in both 2003's 'Daredevil' and the standalone 'Elektra' film — in the 2024 blockbuster 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'
