Apple TV+ has picked up the eight-episode limited series
The Off Weeks, starring and executive produced by Jessica Chastain (
George & Tammy) and
Ben Stiller (
Severance). Michael Showalter (
The Idea of You,
The Dropout) will direct and executive produce alongside Alissa Nutting (
Made For Love), who will also serve as showrunner.
The project follows writing professor Gus Adler, whose divorce has thrown his 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, a mysterious woman whose arrival puts Gus’ on-week duties and off-weeks ambitions on a fatal collision course.
