Oscar winner Jessica Chastain is set to collaborate with Hollywood star Ben Stiller for The Off Weeks, an eight-episode limited series from streamer Apple TV+. The thriller drama will be directed by Michael Showalter, known for The Dropout (2022), and The Idea of You (2024), with showrunner by Alissa Nutting, the co-creator of Made for Love (2021). Both Chastain and Stiller will also serve as executive producers.

The series follows Gus Adler, a writing professor whose life spirals after a divorce. While he struggles to maintain order during his ‘on weeks’ with custody of his children, his ‘off weeks’ take a darker turn when he falls dangerously in love with Stella West, a mysterious woman whose arrival threatens to unravel both his responsibilities and desires. Showalter, who developed the project with Semi-Formal Productions, executive produces alongside Jordana Mollick. Paul Lee and Gabriel Fisher executive produce for Wiip, with Peter Principato, Allen Fischer, and Brian Steinberg for Artists First.
