Production Delayed on New Mischa Barton Series

Production of "The Beautiful Life," a new CW drama starring the recently hospitalized actress Mischa Barton, is now scheduled to begin on July 31, a week later than originally planned, Reuters reports.

Although Barton was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold on Wednesday, the actual reason for the show's delay is that some of its sets were not completed on time. In light of her current medical condition, Barton's role on the show remains questionable, according to Reuters.

Executive producer Ashton Kutcher's "Beautiful Life" is based on a group of models living together in a New York coed residence. According to Reuters, viewers can expect Barton to assume the role of "a supermodel and veteran of the high-fashion circuit who is struggling to keep on top and is in danger of slipping."

"Beautiful Life" is reportedly scheduled to premiere September 16 on the CW.
