Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorA “Tales of the Walking Dead” crew member was taken to a hospital after an accident on set, Variety has confirmed.The accident occurred on Monday night after filming had wrapped for the day. It involved a riverboat and a plank connecting the boat to the pier. The crew member fell into the water and was taken to a hospital via ambulance, but she is in stable condition.
A marine safety crew was present when the incident occurred and is currently investigating what happened.Production on the series was suspended on Tuesday and resumed again on Wednesday morning.“Tales of the Walking Dead” is a six-episode episodic anthology series that will feature both new and established characters from “The Walking Dead” universe. It’s slated to debut this summer on AMC and AMC Plus. The show was first announced as being in development in September 2020 and ordered to series in October 2021.
Last month, cinematographer Ellen Kuras advocated for on-set safety and drew attention to long set hours. Kuras said, “We leave set after having worked a long day or night. During my lifetime, I’ve lost count how many times I struggled to get home after long hours on set.
How I barely managed to get into my driveway. And I know that I am definitely not alone in this struggle.” Last year, nearly 60,000 IATSE workers almost brought the industry to a halt demanding better hours and working conditions, saying that the surge in production over the past decade has led to long hours and dangerous situations on set. Said Kuras, “I hear younger passionate filmmakers talk about leaving the film business — because though they care about their work, it shouldn’t be at the expense of their lives.”
