Following Andre Braugher’s untimely death, the fate of Netflix drama The Residence has been left unguarded.
Owing to SAG-AFTRA's strike, Shondaland had to press the brakes on the murder-mystery's production after filming four out of eight episodes.
When the strike ended on November 9, Deadline reported that the show's producers, Paul William Davies, Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, were planning to gather on the set on January 2.
However, The Residence has been left high and dry once again due to Andre's death at 61.

The outlet reported that the crew is trying to find a middle ground on when to start filming again, considering respect for Andre's colleagues who are currently mourning his loss.

Andre was supposed to be playing one of the main characters of a White House Chief Usher A.B. Wynter in the series based on Kate Andersen Brower’s novel The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House
