Garner will play Hollis Shaw, a famous food influencer who suffers a devastating loss — a death that “starts to expose the cracks in Hollis’ picture-perfect life: her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter and her growing pursuit of validation from her followers,” per the official synopsis.
In an effort to overcome her grief, Hollis invites three friends from different stages in her life to a weekend away at her Nantucket house, where the pals “mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.”
The Five-Star Weekend hails from Bekah Brunstetter (This Is Us, Maid), who will serve as creator, writer and executive producer. Hilderbrand — whose novel The Perfect Couple was previously adapted into a Netflix miniseries in 2024 — is also among the project’s executive producers, alongside Beth Schacter, Sue Naegle and Ali Krug.
Though Garner is best known to TV fans for playing spy Sydney Bristow on ABC’s Alias, her more recent small-screen work includes Starz’s Party Down revival and the Apple TV+ thriller The Last Thing He Told Me; she’ll be back for Season 2 of the latter series, though a return date has yet to be announced.
