“The Electric State production family lost a valued production crew member yesterday,” the Nov. 5 messages read. “We express our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We love our crew like family. And this is devastating news to all of us…”
A source close to Netflix told Deadline the crew member was killed in an off-set car accident that occurred “after working hours” in Georgia, where The Electric State is being filmed, on Nov. 4.
“Production was paused today,” the source told the outlet on Nov. 4, “and cast and crew were offered counseling resources.”
