Production on the fifth season of US action drama The Last Ship has been shut down at the request of star Eric Dane, who suffers from depression.
“Eric asked for a break to deal with personal issues,” a spokesperson for Dane told Variety. “He suffers from depression and has asked for a few weeks of downtime and the producers kindly granted that request. He looks forward to returning.”
The TNT-produced drama has been renewed for Seasons 4 & 5, each consisting of 10 episodes, with both seasons are shooting back-to-back. The fourth season is already wrapped, meaning the premiere should not be pushed back by the delay.
Dane, who starred in Grey’s Anatomy from 2006 to 2012, entered a 30-day rehabilitation program to battle an addiction to painkillers, following a sports injury.
The Last Ship screens in Australia on Stan.
