John Cho has joined the cast of the new Apple TV+ series The Off Weeks, starring Ben Stiller and Jessica Chastain. The Off Weeks centers on writing instructor Gus Adler, played by Ben Stiller, whose life is upended by a divorce.

However, during the weeks without his children—the 'off weeks'—he dangerously falls for the mysterious Stella West, portrayed by Jessica Chastain.

Cho has been frequently seen in various television projects over the past few years. Recently, he made a cameo in the Apple TV series Murderbot and appeared in a guest role in the second season of Peacock's Poker Face.

He also appeared in another Apple TV series, The Afterparty, and the limited HBO series The Sympathizer. He became widely known for his role as Spike Spiegel in Netflix's live-action series Cowboy Bebop (2021).

Additionally, Cho gained significant recognition with the Harold & Kumar films, two American Pie films, and his portrayal of Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu in the Star Trek reboot films.
