Exclusive: Filming on Hulu’s new series Saint X shut down Friday in the Dominican Republic after several crew members, including the key grip and members of the electric unit, walked off the set, Deadline has learned.
The U.S. crew members, said to span the show’s entire first-unit grip and electric teams, allege that they were not compensated correctly for overtime, which led to their walk-off. Saint X is produced by ABC Signature, part of Disney Television Studios.
A spokesperson for Disney TV Studios confirmed that a number of employees were let go after “walking off the job, forcing filming to stop,” adding that they will be replaced with other U.S. union members.
The set of the psychological drama has remained dark since (Saturday and Sunday were scheduled days off); it is unclear when filming will resume, though a studio insider indicated that the goal is to restart production this week.

Exclusive: Jayden Elijah (School’s Out Forever) rounds out the lead cast of Saint X, joining Victoria Pedretti, Josh Bonzie and West Duchovny in Hulu’s eight-part series from writer Leila Gerstein and director Dee Rees.
Based on Alexis Schaitkin’s novel, Saint X is a psychological drama told via multiple timelines and perspectives that explores and upends the girl-gone-missing genre.

Don’t be fooled by the somewhat playful title of this Oliver Milburn production, as School’s Out Forever is a dark and twisted endeavour, with a Lord of the Flies element to the narrative, and a scarily relevant theme that ties all too well into the world we currently inhabit. To mark the film’s release, on digital download from today and on DVD and Blu-ray from April 12th, we had the pleasure of speaking to the aforementioned writer/director, as well as two of the leading stars, Oscar Kennedy and Alex Macqueen. Be sure to watch both interviews in their entirety, as we discuss the themes of the movie, the pandemic and we look back over teacher that made an impression on them – perhaps more so than those in the movie manage…

As a mid-range games studio Rebellion has never exactly made major waves in the market. They seem content to limp along with the basically competent ‘Sniper Elite’ series and the occasional oddity such as ‘Strange Brigade’. As a publisher though they’ve stood out thanks to their ’90s era pop punk attitude and continued ownership of Judge Dredd. So the news that they were to expand into a film and television studio was an exciting prospect and made their debut feature one to watch. Sadly though, if School’s Out Forever is any indication, we shouldn’t hold out hope for a stunning follow-up to 2012’s Dredd anytime soon.
No, School’s Out Forever is a hot mess of a film. A tonally imbalanced, badly scripted attempt at the kind of anarchic action fare that makes up Rebellion’s typical output. Set at an elite private school the film focuses on a...

My parents were desperate for me to like classical music, but I just couldn’t buy into the length of the pieces. Then they played me Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber and it was so beautiful, I cried. My school music teacher, Mr Vassal, asked for our favourite composers; I said Samuel Barber and he laughed at me. But eventually everyone caught up.
