Ben Stiller is teaming up with Jessica Chastain.
The actors will costar in and executive produce The Off Weeks, an upcoming limited series at Apple TV+.
Described as a thrilling drama series, this new show will follow a writing professor named Gus Adler, a divorcee who struggles to hold things together during the weeks when he has custody of his kids. In his “off weeks,” Gus is falling in love with a mysterious woman named Stella West.
The eight-episode limited series will be directed by The Dropout‘s Michael Showalter and showrun by Alissa Nutting.
This marks Stiller’s third collaboration with Apple TV+, after executive producing the drama series Severance for the platform, as well as directing the upcoming documentary Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost. Chastain stars in the upcoming Apple thriller The Savant, which she also executive produced.
Stiller and Chastain’s only previous collaboration is the animated film Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, where they lended their voices to Alex the lion and Gia the jaguar.
