Based on the best-selling book by Elin Hilderbrand (The Perfect Couple), glossy, sun-soaked drama, The Five Star Weekend will air exclusively in the UK and Ireland on Sky and streaming service NOW in July.

Alongside Garner, The Five Star Weekend stars D’Arcy Carden, Gemma Chan, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Harlow Jane and Timothy Olyphant. Additional cast includes Rob Huebel, David Denman, Josh Hamilton, West Duchovny, Judy Greer, Tory Devon Smith, Morrison Keddie, and Roberta Colindrez.

The Five Star Weekend is centred on Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed cook and best-selling author known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanour, 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 fans.

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, her thirties, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the stars will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.

Regarding the acquisition of the series, Lucy Criddle, Director of Acquisitions & Strategic Projects, Sky said:“We're delighted to be bringing this glossy, character‑led drama to our Sky and NOW audiences this summer, based on the best-selling novel of the same name. With an ensemble cast, led by Jennifer Garner, it is the perfect addition to our slate"
