Peacock renews The Five Star Weekend for Season 2

Peacock has renewed its hit drama series "The Five Star Weekend" for a second season, the streaming service announced on August 6, 2026. The renewal follows the show's record-breaking debut, where it became Peacock's most-watched scripted series of all time in terms of overall reach.

Starring Jennifer Garner, the series was initially presented as a limited series based on Elin Hilderbrand's 2023 novel. It premiered on July 9, 2026, and quickly amassed 2.1 billion viewing minutes, ranking among Nielsen's top five streaming originals during its first two weeks. The show's success also helped propel Hilderbrand's source novel back into the Top 10 of The New York Times bestseller list.

The series follows Hollis Shaw, a famous cook and author played by Garner, who is grieving the death of her husband. In an effort to overcome her grief, she hosts a weekend at her Nantucket home with friends from different stages of her life: childhood, college, and motherhood, plus one surprise guest. The ensemble cast for the first season included D'Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Harlow Jane, and Timothy Olyphant.
