John Cho (Murderbot, Searching) has been cast in the new Apple TV series The Off Weeks, starring and executive produced by Ben Stiller and Jessica Chastain, from director Michael Showalter, showrunner Alissa Nutting and Apple Studios.
In The Off Weeks, 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.
The previously announced cast also includes series regulars Arian Moayed as Angelo, Gus’s boss, and Annaleigh Ashford as Jade, Gus’s next-door neighbor. Richard Gere, a recurring guest star like Choe, will play the role of Jonathan.
Nutting executive produces alongside Stiller and John Lesher for Red Hour, Chastain and Kelly Carmichael for Freckle Films, Showalter and Jordana Mollick for Semi-Formal Productions, as well as Paul Lee and Gabriel Fisher for wiip. Peter Principato, Allen Fischer and Brian Steinberg executive produce for Artists First. Dean Bakopoulos also serves as executive producer.

Recently, he starred in Murderbot for Apple TV and Poker Face for Peacock, and Sony’s science fiction horror film, Afraid. Cho can also be seen in Apple TV’s The Afterparty and the Amazon Studios film Don’t Make Me Go. In the Netflix live-action adaptation series, Cowboy Bebop, Cho stars as Spike Spiegel. For his work in Aneesh Chaganty’s film Searching, he received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Male Lead.
