From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Gangs of London, Sky Atlantic’s ultraviolent TV hit, has had its production promptly stopped by a positive Covid test on set.
It is the latest of a number of shows that have had to pause filming recently because of positive tests. Other shows affected by the pandemic include Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon and Westworld.
A crew member working on the series tested positive on Thursday afternoon (22 July) and production will now cease for 10 days with all close contacts isolating.
In a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter, Sky has said: “Gangs of London season two production has temporarily been suspended with cast and crew now self-isolating. We will return to production as soon as it is safe to do so.”
“Throughout this time, the safety of our colleagues and customers remains our number one priority.”
Sky’s Covid protocols means all cast and crew are tested twice per week.
Filming for season two of Gangs of London started in June minus series creator, Gareth Evans, who will next be directing Tom Hardy in Havoc.
