Apple TV+ and Skydance Television’s untitled brother comedy series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson has suspended filming.
An individual familiar with the matter confirmed to TheWrap that production in Austin, Texas was paused late last week. The decision involves the departure of showrunner David West Read, who exited over creative differences on how to end the season.
As of the suspension, eight of the series’ 10 ordered episodes have been shot. “Lessons in Chemistry” creator Lee Eisenberg is in talks to join as showrunner to replace Read and a return to production has not yet been set.
Representatives for Apple TV+ did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment, while Skydance Television declined to comment. News of the suspension was first reported by Deadline.
In addition to serving as showrunner, Read was an executive producer on the series alongside Harrelson and McConaughey, Bill Bost, Jeremy Plager and Skydance Television’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell.
