John Stamos Led Disney+ Series "Big Shot" Halts Filming Due to Positive COVID-19 Test

John Stamos Led Disney+ Series “Big Shot” Halts Filming Due to Positive COVID-19 Test. Once again, filming has been suspended for Disney+ Original Series Big Shot after an unnamed cast or crew member came back with a positive COVID-19. The news was shared by series lead, John Stamos who wrote an emotional twitter thread about the ordeal, sharing:

My son went to bed last night crying and woke up crying cause he can’t be with his father. I'm grateful to have a job, it’s a privilege at this time. I was exposed to the virus for the 3rd time, and have to isolate again for another 10 days! cont.

I feel my job is doing what they can to keep us safe. But people, please follow the rules – your actions affect so many more lives than just your own. Thanks

Production will most likely resume within the next few weeks. According to a description shared by Deadline, “[Big Shot is a] 10-episode series that follows a temperamental college basketball coach (Stamos) who gets fired from his job and must take a teaching and coaching job at an elite all-girls private high school.”

Jessalyn Gilsig will be playing the “good-humored and down-to-earth assistant basketball coach” Holly alongside Stamos’ Marvin. Jessalyn replaced Shiri Appleby in the role due to rumors that the characters Marvin and Holly may develop a romantic relationship down the line of the series.
