An unprecedented rise in coronavirus infections and deaths in Los Angeles County has prompted several TV shows to delay their return to production after the holiday hiatus.
The studios are responding to an appeal from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which urged the film and TV industry to consider pausing production for a few weeks during the steady increase in coronavirus cases across the county. The studios and streamers reviewed the logistics involved, including talent availability and whether the cast and crew would be paid for additional downtime. All productions have followed Covid-19’s strict protocols since filming resumed.
Here is a list of programs with the original planned return dates, along with the expected new production return dates. We will update the list as additional programs are announced.
