Filming permits have been pulled amid the ongoing wildfires. Television production across Los Angeles was brought to a halt on Wednesday (January 8) as wildfires continue to affect neighborhoods including Pacific Palisades, Altadena and Sylmar. The fires have so far burned across 15,000 acres, killing two and destroying over 1,000 buildings.

Though most studio sites and soundstages are not directly in the path of the various fires, the air quality has been deemed dangerous to health and residents are being asked not to leave their homes unnecessarily. In light of this advice, NBCUniversal said production has been suspended on Hacks, Loot, Ted, Suits: L.A. and Happy’s Place.
Amazon has confirmed that production on season two of Fallout has been postponed. The dystopian series was due to film in the Santa Clarita area and production has been tentatively rescheduled for Friday. CBS Studios have suspended shooting for NCIS, NCIS: Origins, Poppa’s House and The Neighborhood. Meanwhile tapings of late night show After Midnight, hosted by stand-up comic Taylor Tomlinson, have been cancelled for the remainder of the week.
