Richard Gere (The Agency, Chicago) has joined the cast of The Off Weeks, Apple TV‘s eight-episode limited series starring and executive produced by Jessica Chastain and Ben Stiller, 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.
Gere will play Jonathan. In addition to Chastain and Stiller, he joins previously cast Arian Moayed and Annaleigh Ashford.
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 (Made for Love) also serves as executive producer.
Gere, who currently stars in the Showtime drama series The Agency: Central Intelligence, is repped by WME and Hirsch Wallerstein.
