The Brother Comedy Comedies series of Apple TV + and Skydance Television television featuring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson suspended the shooting.
An individual familiar with the case confirmed to Thewrap that production in Austin, Texas was arrested at the end of last week. The decision concerns the departure of the showrunner David West Read, who has left creative differences on how to finish the season.
Since the suspension, eight of the 10 ordered episodes in the series have been shot. The creator of “Chemistry Lessons”, Lee Eisenberg, is in talks to join a showrunner to replace Read and a return to production has not yet been defined.
Apple TV + representatives did not immediately return the request for Thewrap comments, while Skydance Television refused to comment. The news of the suspension was reported for the first time by Deadline.
In addition to serving as a showrunner, Read was an executive producer of the series alongside Harrelson and McConaughey, Bill Bost, Jeremy Pleger and David Ellison of Skydance Television, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunel.
