Filming Halted After Gunmen Drive On Set – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Production on FX’s Justified: City Primeval has been halted in Chicago after two cars that were engaged in a gunfight drove through the barricades.

No one was injured during the Wednesday night intrusion, though shell casings were later found on the set. The cast and crew hit the ground and took cover when the incident occurred near the city’s Douglass Park. Star Timothy Olyphant, who is reprising his role as U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens, was present.

The set was closed on Thursday and remains dark today. Production is expected to resume Monday.

The eight-episode limited series is a spinoff of FX’s hit Justified and is inspired by the Elmore Leonard crime novel City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit. It takes place seven years following the end of Justified and follows Givens after he left Kentucky for his new home base in Miami. Viewers will find Raylan balancing life as a marshal and part-time father of 14-year-old Willa, who will be played by Olyphant’s real-life daughter Vivian.

Previously announced cast includes Aunjanue Ellis, Boyd Holbrook, Adelaide Clemens, Vondie Curtis Hall, Marin Ireland, Victor Williams, and Norbert Leo Butz.

Olyphant also is executive producing alongside showrunners and writers Dave Andron and Michael Dinner, as well as original creator Graham Yost, with Dinner directing. Justified: City Primeval is produced by Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions.
