According to People, producers have decided to delay filming for an unspecified time in order to grieve. The series, which debuted in 2021, began airing its third season last month. It stars Mayim Bialik, who plays a café owner. Jordan portrayed Phil, the café’s head baker, in a role that quickly became a hit with viewers. He filmed nine episodes for the show’s ongoing season prior to his untimely death.
Bialik shared a statement with the mag conveying her grief over Jordan’s departure. While her comment did not mention the show’s pause, it is clear from her words that the cast and crew are collectively devastated by Monday’s tragedy:
And the former Blossom star continued:
So sad.
FOX Entertainment also shared a message mourning the Will & Grace alum’s sudden death. In a statement first released to Entertainment Weekly, the studio called him “the kindest person you could ever imagine” and mourned his untimely passing:
FOX, like Bialik, noted they are grieving over the unexpected event as well:
Ugh. Even a full day later we still can’t wrap our heads around this. It’s truly an awful fate for an amazing man who was clearly loved by everyone in the industry. We continue to send our condolences to Leslie Jordan’s family, friends, loved ones, and dear co-stars.
