Timothy Olyphant is the latest addition to the series adaptation of “The Five-Star Weekend” at Peacock, Variety has learned exclusively.
Previously announced cast members for the TV take on the Elin Hilderbrand novel include Jennifer Garner, Regina Hall, Chloë Sevigny, Gemma Chan, and D’Arcy Carden.
The official description for the series states:
“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.”
Olyphant will play the role of Jack in the series.
It was announced in January that Olyphant is set to appear in the Apple TV+ series “Lucky” opposite Anya-Taylor Joy, while he also recently played a role in the Apple golf comedy series “Stick” alongside Owen Wilson. He will next be seen in the highly-anticipated FX series “Alien: Earth,” which debuts in August.
Olyphant recently reprised the role of US Marshall Raylan Givens in the FX series “Justified: City Primeval,” which served as a followup to “Justified,” on which Olyphant played Givens for six seasons. He earned an Emmy nomination for best actor in a drama for the original show. Olyphant is also known for starring in the HBO Western drama “Deadwood,” which was revived in 2019 with a followup movie. Olyphant also picked up an Emmy nod in 2021 for his guest role on “The Mandalorian” as Cobb Vanth, a role he later reprised in “The Book of Boba Fett.” His other TV credits include “Santa Clarita Diet,” “Full Circle” and “Daisy Jones & The Six,” while his film credits include “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Amsterdam.”
He is repped by UTA and Shelter PR.
