Call Me Kat, the US remake of Miranda, has suspended filming following the tragic death of show star Leslie Jordan yesterday.
The comedian died at the age of 67 on Monday after he suffered a suspected medical emergency while driving, leading him to crash his car into a building.
Jordan appeared in the comedy as Phil, the head baker at the cafe owned by Kay (Mayim Bialik), and had completed work on nine episodes of the current season - five of which are still to air - prior to his death.
Writing on Instagram, Bialik said: "There aren't words to convey the loss we are experiencing as a cast and a Call Me Kat family.
"Leslie Jordan was larger than life. He was a Southern gentleman; tender, wise, naughty and hilarious.
"We got to know and love him at the height of his happiness and joy and it is inconceivable to imagine a world without our Leslie: the man who would spit on his contact lenses before putting them in his eyes, the man who had a story about every man in Hollywood and some of the women as well, the man who lived to make people laugh.
"We will be taking time to grieve and to celebrate the many gifts Leslie gave us and to the entire world, and we appreciate privacy at this time."
It is currently unclear how the show will deal with Jordan's death when production resumes.
