McConaughey, Harrelson Apple Series Halts Production in Texas
A new comedy series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson about their friendship has stopped filming.
The show was being made for Apple TV+ in Texas.
The showrunner, the person in charge, left the project, and now they're trying to find a new one.
Lee Eisenberg, who worked on 'Lessons in Chemistry,' might take over.
The show is based on the real-life friendship of the two actors.
The reason for the pause is disagreement on how the show should end, even though most episodes have already been filmed.
There is no set return date yet.
Production on the untitled brothers comedy series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson has been suspended.
Filming was paused in Austin, TX, with the cast sent home late last week.
The suspension follows the departure of showrunner David West Read.
Lee Eisenberg is in negotiations to become showrunner for the final two episodes and potential reshoots.
The series is loosely inspired by the real-life friendship of McConaughey and Harrelson.
