Based on the best selling novel by Elin Hilderbrand, The Five Star Weekend arrives as a glossy, sun soaked drama set to air exclusively in the UK and Ireland on Sky and streaming service NOW in July.
At the centre of the story is Hollis Shaw, played by Jennifer Garner, a celebrated cook and bestselling author whose life is built on carefully curated perfection. Known for her recipes, refined taste and reassuring public image, Hollis is forced into emotional freefall after a devastating personal loss. What follows is not just grief, but the slow unravelling of a life that once looked unshakable.
As Hollis struggles to move forward, the cracks in her world begin to widen. Her marriage shows strain, her relationship with her daughter becomes increasingly complicated, and her need for approval from her audience grows more consuming. The surface level glamour begins to fade, revealing something far more fragile underneath.
In an attempt to rebuild herself, Hollis plans a weekend retreat at her Nantucket home, inviting three friends from different chapters of her life. Each guest represents a different version of who she once was, spanning childhood, her twenties and her thirties, alongside an unexpected fifth guest who shifts the dynamic entirely. It becomes a gathering that is meant to heal, but instead begins to expose long buried tensions.
Set against a luxurious coastal backdrop, the weekend takes on an increasingly unsettled tone as friendships are tested, boundaries are pushed and long held secrets begin to surface. What starts as a restorative escape slowly turns into something far more revealing about who these women really are and what they have been hiding from each other and themselves.
Alongside Garner, the series features D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Harlow Jane and Timothy Olyphant. The wider cast includes Rob Huebel, David Denman, Josh Hamilton, West Duchovny, Judy Greer, Tory Devon Smith, Morrison Keddie and Roberta Colindrez.
The Five Star Weekend brings together grief, reinvention and long simmering truths in a setting where beauty and discomfort sit side by side.
It streams in July on Sky and NOW in the UK and Ireland.
