Peacock renews The Five Star Weekend for a second season. Multiple outlets report the streamer has ordered Season 2 for the Jennifer Garner-led drama after the series performs strongly with viewers. The show is based on Elin Hilderbrand’s 2023 novel of the same name and centers on Hollis Shaw, portrayed by Garner, a well-known cook and author who is grieving her late husband. While one outlet notes the series was originally announced as a limited series, the renewal indicates it will continue beyond its initial run plan.
Variety and Deadline add that the renewal follows record-setting audience numbers for Peacock, with Deadline citing total minutes watched since the show’s July 9 premiere. Other reports similarly link the pickup to strong viewing performance, describing it as Peacock’s most-watched scripted series in overall reach. TVLine and The Hollywood Reporter also confirm the Season 2 renewal, without adding major changes to the premise.
The outlets do not provide a confirmed release date or detailed casting changes in the provided summaries.
