According to The Wrap, “V” will be shutting down production for around two weeks stating creative purposes.
ABC’s buzz-heavy new fall drama “V” is taking a two-week creative hiatus.
Warner Bros. TV has decided to temporarily shut down production on the alien invasion series, with filming scheduled to halt next Wednesday, a studio rep confirmed exclusively to TheWrap. Because “V” doesn’t premiere until Nov. 3, the move won’t impact scheduling of the series or ABC’s ability to air the six episodes it’s planning for the fourth quarter.
The studio wouldn’t discuss the specific reasons behind the move, saying only that the shutdown was designed to boost “V” in the long-term.
WBTV wants to “take advantage of our November premiere to maximize creative opportunities and deliver the audience the best show possible,” a Warners spokesperson said.

Hiatus for creative purposes? Hope it’s not a serious difference of creative purposes? BTW, thanks for giving us all these V updates! Much appreciated! 🙂

I know that Dollhouse recently did something similar (and it seemed to turn out fair enough), and it mentions other shows doing the same. And no problem!

Word is it’s a legal dispute between Kennth Johnson (“V” creator) & Warner Bros. over the credit, not creative purposes.

Yeah, I read about that. I hope it doesn’t interfere with the series making it to air or anything major like that.
