‘Hacks’, ‘Happy’s Place’ & ‘Suits LA’ Among Series Pausing Production Amid LA Fires

As the Hollywood community and the rest of Los Angeles are waking up to images of utter devastation from the ongoing wind-driven wildfires, more evacuation orders and school closures, TV series are suspending production for the day Wednesday in impacted areas.

Universal Studio Group’s Hacks, which just won two Golden Globes Sunday, Happy’s Place, Loot, Suits LA and Ted will not film today due to NBCUniversal closing the lower lot at Universal Studios for the day.

The company also is closing the Universal Studios theme park Wednesday with fires nearby.

There have been a slew of events canceled amid the fires, including tonight’s premiere of the new Max medical drama The Pitt and an in-person press event for ABC’s new comedy Shifting Gears, also today. Prime Video’s Fallout, which films in Santa Clarita, pushed restart of production after the holiday break by a couple of days out of precaution.

We will update with information on more production suspensions if/when it becomes available.
