Jennifer Garner Heading To HBO For Comedy Series ‘Camping,’ From ‘Girls’ Executive Producers

Jennifer Garner is heading to HBO for a new comedy series.

The “Alias” alum will star in “Camping”
from “Girls” executive producers Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, who
will write the show.

Jennifer plays Kathryn in the eight-episode series, a
woman who goes on a back-to-nature weekend for her husband Walt’s 45^th
birthday. But, there are a few other characters on the trip, including
Kathryn’s “meek sister,” her former best friend, and a free-spirit
along for the ride, and the getaway “becomes a weekend of tested marriages
and woman on woman crime that won’t soon be forgotten. Plus, bears,”
read a logline from HBO.

“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. It’s truly a dream to have her first on our call sheet.  Now we just have to write her some stunts,” Jenni and Lena said in a joint statement.

The half-hour comedy, which begins production in Los Angeles this spring, will consist of eight episodes. It’s set to be a limited series.
