John Cho was just added to the cast of Apple TV’s upcoming limited series titled The Off Weeks. Cho will join the previously announced cast, which includes Ben Stiller, Jessica Chastain, Arian Moayed, Annaleigh Ashford, and Richard Gere.
The official logline from Apple TV for the upcoming drama is: “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.”
Cho has previously appeared in a couple of Apple TV shows, including the recently released sci-fi comedy series “Murderbot” and the second season of “The Afterparty.” Cho’s most recent role was in the South Korean spy drama series titled “Tempest.”
Apple TV is quickly becoming the new HBO, as viewers have come to expect the same level of quality in Apple TV shows as in HBO shows. While the Apple owned streaming service is still relatively new especially compared to other streaming giants such as Netflix and Prime Video, but with shows like Pluribus and Severance, it is quickly becoming one of the best streaming services when it comes to quality.
The Off Weeks will consist of 8 episodes in total, and while no release window for the upcoming thriller drama series has been announced yet, you can expect it to come out next year.
