BINGE today released the official trailer for new eight-part drama series The Five Star Weekend starring and executive produced by Golden Globe award-winner Jennifer Garner (Alias; The Last Thing He Told Me), with a double episode premiering July 9th on BINGE and Foxtel On Demand.
The series centres 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, 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.
Rounding out the all-star cast are D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place), Gemma Chan (Crazy Rich Asians), Regina Hall (One Battle After Another), Chloë Sevigny (American Horror Story), Harlow Jane (She Came To Me) and Timothy Olyphant (Justified).
