Production on ABC’s freshman comedy series Cougar Town was shut down late last week to accommodate star Courteney Cox.

In a statement, the network confirmed the work stoppage, noting that it was done “in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter.”

There is no word when filming on the series, which has been picked up for a full season, will resume.

Cougar Town was already scheduled to go on hiatus this week for the Thanksgiving holiday.
