Preview
Based on the British miniseries of the same name, Camping was developed by Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, the team behind the critically acclaimed HBO series Girls. They will also serve as writers and the showrunners for the series.
Additionally, this marks the return of Jennifer Garner to a recurring television role for the first time since Alias, which ended 12 years ago.
“We love Jennifer’s restraint and comedic timing, and we can’t wait for the warmth and intelligence she’ll bring to our central character, Kathryn,” said Dunham and Konner. “It’s truly a dream to have her first on our call sheet.”
Throw in the highly-acclaimed David Tennant (Doctor Who, Jessica Jones) and Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers, August: Osage County), and it’s a star-studded group behind this show.
Still, it sounds as though it’s Garner who may end up stealing the show, according to Rolling Stone’s Alan Sepinwall:
Kathryn is a profoundly difficult character, and Garner embraces it. But her innate Jennifer Garner-hood — which led Dunham to joke that Garner could “walk right up to me and go, ‘I’ve killed your mom and I’ve taken your boyfriend,’ and I’d be like, ‘Well, that’s your right’” — shines through, even when Kathryn is being casually cruel to her sister Carleen or stealing padded mats from the other tents because “hard surfaces wreak havoc on my pelvic floor.”
The first season will consist of eight half-hour episodes
