Jessica Chastain and Ben Stiller have signed on to star and executive produce the new Apple TV+ limited series titled ‘The Off Weeks.’ Alissa Nutting will serve as showrunner, with Michael Showalter directing and executive producing.

Apple TV+ wrote on X: “A new limited series from director Michael Showalter and showrunner Alissa Nutting. #TheOffWeeks — Coming to Apple TV+”

The logline for the eight-episode series states, “When divorce throws writing professor Gus Adler’s (Stiller) life into chaos, he struggles to hold things together during ‘on weeks’ when he has custody of his kids. But in his ‘off weeks,’ he’s falling dangerously in love with Stella West (Chastain), a mysterious woman whose arrival puts Gus’ on-week duties and off-weeks ambitions on a fatal collision course.”

Stiller recently released the documentary Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost about his parents, comedy duo Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, for Apple TV+.  Meanwhile Chastain is set to star with Adam Driver in an art-world drama called The Dealer at the streamer.
