Thailand crew members call on Thailand's government to allow Apple TV+'s Shantaram to restart production

Variety

Variety reports the crew members sent an open letter to the Thai government over its shutdown of the sweeping international drama series starring Alexander and Charlie Hunnam. "They accuse the Thai government of hypocritically promoting the country as a destination for runaway productions, all while shutting down the big-budget Shantaram, which is produced by Paramount Television and Anonymous Content for Apple TV Plus," reports Variety's Patrick Frater. "The group also claims the government is ignoring its own COVID-safe workplace rules, with negative consequences for employment and Thailand’s reputation as a production location."
