Camping is an eight episode comedy from Girls duo Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner and is based on the British series of the same name. Jennifer Garner will play Kathryn in the limited series.

The series will be written and executive produced by Dunham and Konner and revolves around Kathryn. David Tennant will portray Walt who is Kathryn's obedient husband and loving father. He is the reliable lynchpin of his male social group but below all that reality lurks a subtle but growing discontent about what he's just signed up for.

The comedy kicks off on Walt's 45th birthday which was supposed to be a delightful weekend back to nature at least according to his obsessively organized and aggressively controlling wife Kathryn. But when the camping trip gathers Kathryn's meek sister, her holier-than-thou ex-best friend and a free-spirited tagalong in one place, it becomes a weekend of tested marriages and woman-on-woman crime that won't soon be forgotten.

The eight half hour episodes will be shown on HBO although a broadcast timeframe is not known yet nor whether it will be shown on other stations around the world. The read-through for Camping was on Monday 19th March.
