Chloë Sevigny Signs On as Series Regular
Peacock confirmed that Chloë Sevigny will play Tatum McKenzie in The Five-Star Weekend, rounding out a cast that already features Jennifer Garner in the leading role and Regina Hall, whose participation was announced last week. This ensemble brings together talent from both film and television backgrounds.
Sevigny has built her reputation through a variety of television roles, notably collaborating multiple times with Ryan Murphy, including stints on American Horror Story and the second installment of Feud. More recently, she portrayed Kitty Menendez in the second season of Monster for Netflix. Her filmography includes memorable performances in Boys Don’t Cry, which earned her Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, and in Big Love, for which she received a Golden Globe. Other television credits for Sevigny include roles in Bloodline, The Girl From Plainville, and Russian Doll. She is represented by WME, Circle Management and Production, and Narrative.
Storyline Centers on Friendship and Healing
The Five-Star Weekend follows Hollis Shaw, played by Jennifer Garner, who is a food influencer famed for her warm persona, stylish taste, and sought-after recipes. After a personal tragedy disrupts her life, Hollis grapples with the stresses in her closest relationships and the pressure from her social media following. Seeking comfort and meaning, she invites friends from different chapters of her life to spend a weekend together at her Nantucket home.
Hollis Shaw (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.
