An upcoming comedy featuring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson on Apple TV+ has been put on hold as producers seek a new showrunner. Filming was halted in mid-June following the departure of showrunner David West Read, who reportedly left due to creative differences. As a result of Read’s exit, Apple TV+ and Skydance Television sent the cast and crew home, though they had already completed eight out of ten episodes.
Reports suggest that some reshoots may be necessary before production can resume. While there is no clear timeline for the show’s return, sources indicate that the new showrunner, likely Lee Eisenberg, may require time to adjust the creative direction of the series. The comedy has been described by Apple as a “heartfelt odd couple love story” that explores the unique and beautiful bond between the two lead actors.
However, this bond is tested as their extended families attempt to coexist on a ranch in Texas. This isn’t the first production to face complications due to conflicts among crew members. The acclaimed series “Severance” also experienced multiple delays due to disagreements between its showrunners, highlighting the challenges that can arise in television production.
As the project reevaluates its leadership, fans will be eager to see how the changes impact the final product.
