Regina Hall Joins Jennifer Garner in ‘Five-Star Weekend’ Series at Peacock

Regina Hall is set to star opposite Jennifer Garner in the Peacock series adaptation of “The Five-Star Weekend,” Variety has learned.

The series, based on the Elin Hilderbrand novel of the same name, was originally announced in January with Garner in the lead role. The official description of the series states:

“Hollis Shaw (Jennifer Garner), a famed food influencer known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor 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 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 twenties, thirties, 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.”

Hall will play the series regular role of Dru-Ann Jones.

Hall’s recent TV credits include the Peacock series “The Best Man: The Final Chapters” as well as “Black Monday” at Showtime and “Nine Perfect Strangers” Season 1 at Hulu. Hall also starred in “The Best Man” film franchise on which the Peacock show was based, as well as films like the “Scary Movie” series, “Think Like a Man,” “Girls Trip,” and “Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.”
