Production on FX’s eight-episode sequel series “Justified: City Primeval” was once again interrupted Monday by a violent incident from outside the show’s set.
The series was filming in Chicago’s South Loop on Monday night when someone threw what police described as an ‘incendiary device’ toward the set. Said device didn’t explode, and no one was hurt, but police are investigating the incident.
This follows an incident three weeks ago when two vehicles carrying people shooting at one another crashed through barricades on the set as it was filmed on the city’s West Side. No cast or crew members were hurt then either, but filming paused for several days.
Following the first incident, Sony Pictures TV added extra layers of security to the production which has been filming in various Chicago locations.
The project sees Timothy Olyphant reprising his role of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, which he played across the critically acclaimed FX show from 2010-2015. Aunjanue Ellis, Boyd Holbrook, Adelaide Clemens, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Marin Ireland, Norbert Leo Butz, Victor Williams and Vivian Olyphant also star.
