• Wildfires have torn through Los Angeles, destroying homes and displacing residents.
• Major Hollywood productions have paused shooting.
• They include "Fallout," one Amazon's biggest hits last year, and "Grey's Anatomy."

As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to tear through swathes of the city, Hollywood has responded by pausing multiple TV and film productions.

As of 8 A.M ET, at least five people had died in the wildfires, and 150,000 people had been evacuated from the greater Los Angeles area, including the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Pasadena. The Los Angeles Times reported that around 2,000 buildings had been destroyed, citing the LA Fire Department.

Numerous celebrities, including Billy Crystal and Paris Hilton have lost their homes. The Palisades fire burned over 17,000 acres of land, and a fifth fire, dubbed the Sunset Fire, started in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday evening.

Here are the projects that have paused production.

'Fallout' and 'Grey's Anatomy' are among the TV shows affected

Variety reported on Wednesday that Amazon had postponed restarting filming for "Fallout" season two until Friday.

The show, based on the popular "Fallout" games by Bethesda Softworks, was one of the streamer's biggest hits of 2024.

The outlet also reported that the Warner Bros. studio backlot in Burbank was closed, stopping work on "Abbott Elementary," "The Pitt," "All-American," and "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage."

However, the city of Burbank said on Wednesday that there were no evacuation orders for the area.

NBC Universal stopped production on "Suits: LA," the spinoff to Aaron Korsh's popular legal drama starring Stephen Amell, as well as "Ted," "Hacks," "Loot," and "Happy's Place."

CBS Studios meanwhile paused work on "NCIS," "NCIS: Origins," "After Midnight," "The Neighborhood," and "Poppa's House." And Disney delayed work on "Grey's Anatomy," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and "Doctor Odyssey."

On Wednesday, FilmLA, which helps coordinate permits for movies and TV shows shooting in the city, said the LA County Fire Department told them to withdraw all permits for Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge, and Unincorporated Pasadena, and others were possible.

In an update on the same day, the company said that the LA Parks and Recreation Department had canceled all filming permits until January 14.

The disruption from the wildfires comes as Hollywood tries to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and actor and writer strikes last year, which both led to numerous production delays for major and smaller studios alike.

Mike Miller, the vice president of the film and TV crew union IATSE, told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday that the organization would support those affected.

He said: "We're going to be there to support them and I'm confident that we'll be able to come through this. But it is absolutely going to add additional burden to many people in our industry that are already struggling."

Representatives for Amazon, NBC Universal, CBS, and Disney did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
