What happened

Peacock has released 'The Five-Star Weekend,' a series starring Jennifer Garner and featuring a cast that includes Chloë Sevigny, Regina Hall, and Timothy Olyphant. Based on a novel by Elin Hilderbrand, the show follows a group of women on a trip to Nantucket and includes a plot twist in its opening episodes.
