off-set

Zhang's extended message, which was shared on the microblog site, revealed he had maintained an extramarital affair with Yao Di, a costar from their popular television show, Naked Marriage. The actor's confession came several days after photographs of himself and Di, enjoying an intimate date off-set, surfaced on the Internet.

What does this phrase mean? Is it the same as 'offset'?
