D'Arcy Carden, star of Peacock's hit adaptation "Five Star Weekend," has spoken about the show's exploration of the tensions inherent in group holidays, saying such trips often expose old rivalries and jealousies among friends. The actress, who appears alongside Jennifer Garner and Regina Hall in the Elin Hilderbrand adaptation, made the comments during an interview promoting the series, which has remained the No. 1 title on Peacock for two weeks running.

Carden discussed how the show, shot mainly in Los Angeles with a month spent filming on Nantucket, captures the awkward dynamics of a "girls trip" bringing together people with varying degrees of closeness to the host. She compared the set-up to a bachelorette party, recalling her own low-key version involving high school friends and sisters. The interview also touched on her earlier career struggles before breakthrough roles in "The Good Place" and "Barry," and her current run of projects including "Sunny Nights" and an HGTV series with Sherry Cola.
