A pair of high profile stars and a production crew have descended on The Hudson Valley this week to film a new television series for Apple TV.
The show is called Off Weeks and it stars Ben Stiller and Oscar winner Jessica Chastain. According to iMDb, the limited-series centers around Gus Adler (Stiller), a divorced professor juggling shared custody of his children while pursuing a passionate romance with the enigmatic Stella West (Chastain), leading to mounting tensions between his parental duties and personal desires.
While Stiller is known more for his comedic roles, Off Weeks is described as a romantic drama and that definitely has my attention. I love when actors play against stereotype.
Stiller and Chastain were reportedly spotted filming scenes for Off Weeks at the little but mighty C.J. Cullen's Tavern on Pelham Road in New Rochelle. So cool!

I can't wait to see C.J.'s and New Rochelle celebrated on TV in the same way Westchester and Beacon have been in the series Four Seasons.
Off Weeks also stars Richard Gere and John Cho. The show remains in production and there's no release date scheduled yet on Apple TV but we'll keep you posted!
