Peacock has released a trailer for its upcoming series adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s The Five-Star Weekend.
Hilderbrand’s novel, published in 2023 by Little, Brown, follows Hollis Shaw, a food influencer whose husband is killed in a car accident. She decides to host a getaway weekend on Nantucket with four friends from different phases of her life, but it isn’t the idyllic escape that she’d hoped for. In a starred review, a critic for Kirkus wrote of the book, “The people in her books may screw up, but Hilderbrand always gets it right. Kind of amazing.”
The series adaptation is written by Beth Schacter and Bekah Brunstetter and directed by Jennifer Morrison and Minkie Spiro. It stars Jennifer Garner, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Gemma Chan, D’Arcy Carden, and Timothy Olyphant.
The trailer opens with Garner, as Hollis, shooting a video while she bakes a pie in her kitchen. “My dear Hungry With Hollis community,” she says, “this is one of my favorite recipes.” There’s a knock at the door, and Garner opens it to find two police officers. One says, “Your husband was involved in an accident.”
Later in the trailer, Sevigny (Tatum McKenzie) asks Chan (Gigi Ling), “What are you scared of?” Chan replies, “I’m at a three-day dinner party with a bunch of women I’ve never met.” Carden, playing Brooke Kirtley, says, “Yeah, this is terrifying.”
The trailer ends with Harlow James, as Hollis’ daughter, angrily telling her mother, “Enjoy your Golden Girls weekend.” Carden says, “You know, Dorothy and Blanche were actually in their 50s when they shot that.” Sevigny replies, “Shut your mouth right now.”
The Five-Star Weekend is set to premiere on Peacock on July 9.
