Sean Penn’s has issued a vaccine ultimatum to production staff on his new television series Gaslit.
The Watergate-themed drama, which is inspired by Slate’s podcast Slow Burn, will see Penn star as Attorney General John Mitchell.
Now, as Covid-19 cases rise in California where filming is currently underway, Penn has reportedly told producers that he won’t return to set until everyone on the production has been vaccinated.
Penn’s organisation Core has offered to facilitate the vaccination effort for free, but reports suggest Penn won’t return to set until all have been vaccinated, meaning production will be delayed by several weeks.
