The USA TV drama debuted last year with its first season but due to a freak accident to star Ryan Phillipe’s leg the production schedule for season two will have to change. Luckily for fans of the series, there will be no delays.
The Cruel Intentions actor commented on the accident via a series of tweets, explaining the situation. He said, “I didn’t injure myself doing a stunt or anywhere near the set of shooter. I was the victim of a freak accident during a family outing,”
