Writers’ strike shuts down production of Apple TV+’s ‘Before’ with Billy Crystal

Another show is pausing production until the Writers Guide of America (WGA) strike is over. This time it’s “Before,” the Apple TV+ limited series headlined by Billy Crystal, which hails from Paramount Television Studios, reports Deadline.

The show which has been filming in New Jersey, was temporarily shut down by picketing. Written by Sarah Thorp (“The Bounty Hunter”) and to be directed by Barry Levinson, “Before” is set to star Crystal as Eli, a child psychiatrist who recently lost his wife when he encounters a troubled young boy.
