UPDATE: Production will resume on November 30.

Filming on one of ABC’s most promising new shows has been indefinitely halted for reasons other than ratings.

Cougar Town, which would have shut down this week anyway for the holidays, stopped taping late last week due to a personal issue connected to star Courteney Cox. “We can confirm production on Cougar Town has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter,” ABC said in a statement.

At this time, three previously shot episodes can carry the network through January 6. It’s not known when the cast and crew will return to the set.
