If one of the three lamps blows out when connected in series what happens to the current in the other two?

In a series circuit there is only one path for current to flow. The current will flow through each good lamp. If any lamp opens (blows), then the circuit is broken and current flow stops. The older strings of Christmas tree lights used to be connected in series and it was hard to fine the blown bulb. If there were two burnt out bulbs almost impossible to find.
