All other light bulbs will turn off due to the series circuit being broken. The electrons cannot travel all the way through, hence the current will also not flow in the circuit, switching off all the other bulbs too.
CommentIt's worth pointing out that the full supply voltage will then appear across the lamp holder -so take care!

What happens when one light bulb goes out in a series?
The failed bulb breaks the circuit so no current can flow - so the other bulb goes out (but is OK).
What evidence from this passage could support the idea that a strand of light might benefit from using a parallel circuit instead of a series circuit?
No
Do modern homes use electricity that is arranged in series or in parallel circuits?
In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
What happens if you accidentally reverse the wiring in a light switch?
A single pole, single throw light switch simply interrupts the electrical current. It makes absolutely no difference which way you connect the wires, it will still interrupt a circuit when connected in series.
What is a combination circuit?
It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS
