We’ll run through everything we know about the series to get you ready for what will likely be one of the buzziest rides of the summer.

Everything you need to know about ‘The Five-Star Weekend’

When will episodes ‘The Five-Star Weekend’ come out?

“The Five-Star Weekend” will premiere on Thursday, July 9. The series, based on the book of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand, will feature eight episodes, and all of them will be available on Peacock starting at 3:01 a.m. ET.

Will you be able to watch ‘The Five-Star Weekend’ for free?

Unfortunately, Peacock does not offer new or returning customers a free trial of any kind. So, unless that changes before the premiere date, you will need to sign up for one of the platform’s Premium plans to watch the show.

The NBCUniversal streaming service offers three subscription tiers, but only two provide access to Peacock Originals. The Select plan, which runs $8 per month, is strictly the home for next-day viewing of NBC, Bravo, and other NBCU channels’ shows and the robust Peacock on-demand library.

However, for sports and originals, you will need to opt for either Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus; the former is ad-supported, while the latter is ad-free (outside of live broadcasts) and allows for downloads. Peacock Premium costs $11 monthly, and Premium Plus is $17.
