Cover Story Good taste: A cookbook author bounces back from loss in ‘The Five Star Weekend’ By Sarah Passingham The perfect recipe for a memorable beach weekend includes good friends, good food and a pajama dance party. After weathering the aftermath of a difficult loss, best-selling cookbook author Hollis Shaw (Jennifer Garner, “The Last Thing He Told Me”) decides to shake off her grief with a very special girls’ weekend in the new drama eight-part miniseries, “The Five Star Weekend,” premiering Thursday, July 9, on Peacock. Stream the first three episodes on premiere day with the remaining episodes dropping every Thursday. Hollis lives a picture-perfect life with her loyal “Hungry With Hollis” community, easy warmth and hospitality and loving family. That life gets flipped on its head when the news of her husband’s sudden death in a car accident arrives on her doorstep in the form of two police officers, just as Hollis is preparing one
of her most favorite holiday recipes in the official trailer for the upcoming series. Seasons change and as time goes on, Hollis decides to plan a weekend of hosting at her Nantucket beach house. Invited to join her on the picturesque island are four friends, each from different parts of her life, together making up the five stars of her five-star weekend: Hollis’ childhood best friend Tatum McKenzie (Chloe Sevigny, “Monster”), her college roommate Dru-Ann Jones (Regina Hall, “One Battle After Another,” 2025), her close parenting friend Brooke Kirtley (D’Arcy Carden, “Sunny Nights”) and a new friend who Hollis met through social media, Gigi Ling (Gemma Chan, “The Creator,” 2023). Though Hollis’ life looked like a dream from the outside, losing her husband emphasized the cracks in the veneer. Now that it is just the two of them, Hollis struggles to
connect with her daughter Caroline (Harlow Jane, “She Came to Me,” 2023) as they both live in the lonely beach house. An aspiring filmmaker, Caroline has been pushing herself away from Hollis as she processes her father’s death. Hollis’ marriage to her husband Matthew (Josh Hamilton, “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen”), when he was alive, was waning, making her grief for him and their partnership complicated. The girls’ weekend is Hollis’ attempt to breathe some life into her home and foster new connections as she rekindles sacred friendships and maybe inches closer into her daughter’s good graces. Something more than friendship might be brewing, though, as someone else from Hollis’ past crashes her plans. A childhood sweetheart, Jack (Timothy Olyphant, “Alien: Earth”), returns to Hollis’ life, making a big splash at the girls’ weekend.
The recurring cast includes David Denman (“Peacemaker”) as Kyle McKenzie; Rob Huebel (“Running Point”) as Charlie Kirtley; Judy Greer (“Reboot”) as Electra; West Duchovny (“Painkiller”) as Aubrey; Tory Devon Smith (“Cherish the Day”) as John Mark; Henry Eikenberry (“Lisa Frankenstein,” 2024) as Dylan Leclaire; and Roberta Colindrez (“A League of Their Own”) as Sunny. The series was adapted from the 2023 novel of the same name from author Elin Hilderbrand. Creator and showrunner Bekah Brunstetter (“This Is Us”) immediately saw the book’s potential for series adaptation after reading the novel. She told Entertainment Weekly, “I found it to be this incredible combination of lightness and depth, which is really hard to find in a series. I just really believe in TV shows that uplift but also challenge at the same time.”
