Philip Seymour Hoffman's Showtime comedy series 'Happyish' likely canceled after Oscar-winner's untimely death

Earlier this week, it was reported that both installments of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay would finish filming and move along without the recently deceased actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. Though this project was never in too much trouble despite the loss of the actor, another Hoffman project is likely to be canceled considering he had a much larger role. This was the recently announce Showtime comedy series Happyish.

"Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of our generation's finest and most brilliant actors," Showtime said in a statement. "He was also a gifted comedic talent. It was a great privilege and pleasure to work with him and we are all absolutely devastated by this sudden loss. Our thoughts go out to his family at this very difficult time."

Though there hasn't been any confirmation on the cancelation of the show, moving along with the project would mean too much work for the crew.

"It is hard to imagine a way in which it could go on," said a source. "His role would have to be recast and there weren't any other actors in serious consideration aside from Philip. If the show does move forward, the premiere would be delayed as pilot would need to be reshot."

Happyish would have seen Hoffman star as Thom Payne, a "successful but self-loathing creative director at a New York ad agency." 

Meanwhile, Lionsgate recently released a statement on the passing of Hoffman in regards to his role in the Hunger Games movies. You can read more on this story by clicking HERE!
