All the TV Productions Suspended or Delayed Due to Coronavirus Pandemic (Updating)
Tony Maglio and Reid Nakamura 7 hrs ago
As coronavirus continues to spread, an increasing number of TV series are delaying or suspending production. As the number of impacted series grows, TheWrap felt it would be most informative to keep a running list.
See below. We are updating this list as new information comes in.
Find the latest update on the late-night shows going without a live studio audience here and a list of conferences, events and festivals impacted here. See a list of movies affected here.
"NCIS," "NCIS Los Angeles," "NCIS New Orleans" and other CBS shows
All three show in the long-running procedural franchise have been temporarily paused in light of the spread of coronavirus — though representatives for the network say each shows have only a few episodes left in their respective current seasons.
"Over the past few days, we began making decisions to temporarily postpone production on some of our pilots and current series," CBS said in a statement. "At this time, we are evaluating situations on a case-by-case basis, informed by the best information from health experts and government officials. Some productions may continue as long as they do not involve live audiences and/or environments that are considered at risk. The safety and welfare of our production team is our top priority."
"Grace and Frankie"
Production on the Netflix show's upcoming seventh and final season was put on hold on March 12, "to ensure the health and safety of our cast and crew," according to a statement by production company Skydance.
"Grey's Anatomy"
Showrunner Krista Vernoff, executive producer Debbie Allen and line producer James Williams announced the two-week production shut-down in a memo to the show's cast and crew late Thursday, citing an "abundance of caution."
"Out of an abundance of caution, production is postponed on Grey's Anatomy effective immediately," the trio wrote. "We are going home now for at least two weeks and waiting to see how the coronavirus situation evolves.
"This decision was made to ensure the health and safety of the whole cast and crew and the safety of our loved ones outside of work, and it was made in accordance with Mayor Garcetti's suggestion that we not gather in groups of more than 50.
"Stay safe, stay healthy, stay hydrated, stay home as much as possible, and wash your hands frequently. Please take care of yourselves and each other. As updates come in, we will keep you informed."
"The Morning Show"
The Apple TV+ dramas said Thursday that it would take a two-week hiatus from filming its second season as a precaution — no crew members have yet tested positive for the virus.
"In concert with our dedicated partners at Apple, we have concluded it would be prudent to take a two-week hiatus to assess the situation and ensure the safety of the incredible people who make this show," Michael Ellenberg, CEO of studio MediaRes, said in a statement.
"Riverdale"
"We have been made aware that a team member from 'Riverdale,' which is produced in Vancouver, was recently in contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19," "Riverdale" studio Warner Bros. Television said in a statement on Wednesday. "The team member is currently receiving medical evaluation. We are working closely with the appropriate authorities and health agencies in Vancouver to identify and contact all individuals who may have come into direct contact with our team member."
"The health and safety of our employees, casts and crews is always our top priority," the statement continues. "We have and will continue to take precautions to protect everyone who works on our productions around the world. Out of an abundance of caution, production on 'Riverdale' is currently suspended."
