D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place, Barry) has joined Peacock’s upcoming drama series The Five-Star Weekend in the series regular role of Brooke Kirtley. She joins star and executive producer Jennifer Garner, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, and Gemma Chan, who were previously announced.
Bekah Brunstetter (Maid, This is Us) created the project based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling novel The Perfect Couple.
The Five-Star Weekend centers on Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed food influencer known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor, who suffers a devastating loss. Unable to move forward, the death exposes 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 followers.
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 20s, 30s, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, they will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.
Brunstetter is the creator, writer, and executive producer of The Five-Star Weekend. Beth Schacter (Billions, Super Pumped) serves as writer and executive producer. Naegle (Pam and Tommy, The Day of the Jackal) and Krug (Pam and Tommy, The Staircase) executive produce through their Dinner Party Productions. Hilderbrand also executive produces.
Carden is represented by CAA, Rise Management, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
