After temporarily shutting down production on Cougar Town Nov. 20 so star Courteney Cox could “deal with a private family matter,” ABC has confirmed that the series will be back in production Nov. 30. According to a rep, shooting was halted for only one day prior a scheduled week-long holiday hiatus. Though Cox’s rep still hasn’t elaborated on why the star had to briefly step away from production, she told EW that “[Cox] and her family are doing fine and she will be returning to the set following Cougar Town‘s planned Thanksgiving hiatus.” Actress Busy Philipps also reached out to her co-star’s fans on Twitter: “We’re back shooting after Thanksgiving. I’ll pass along the love for cc!”
