Kinda ironic since tv has a captive audience right now with so many people shuttered in their homes.
I'm sure you weren't aware, but a crew member in Chicago on the new FOX show neXT was diagnosed with the illness a few days ago. Who knows how many he came in contact with. |

They can't risk filming and risk hundreds of the crew members and actors getting sick. There's liability issues.

Re: Coronavirus news -- TV edition
For the procedural shows which might be done with this season without fulfilling the entire 22+ episodes order, one possible way forward is to order more episodes for the next season.
Something like this was done for Bones seasons 3 and 4, back in 2007-2008 after the writer's strike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bones_(season_3) |
Re: Coronavirus news -- TV edition
Yes that happened during the 2007 writer's strike. Some shows get ballooned episode orders the following season.

FX shuts down Fargo, Snowfall, Atlanta, and Y the last man for at least 2 weeks. I also read Lucifer shut down as well. They were shooting the season 5 finale. |
Re: Coronavirus news -- TV edition
Fargo wasn’t done filming? Surprised. FX usually seems to have the season in the can before premiering.

Sucks though now I will have more time to clear my DVR with no new episodes
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live is joining fellow late-night shows CBS‘ Late Show with Stephen Colbert, NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers in suspending production over the coronavirus. “Jimmy Kimmel Live has determined it is in the best interest of the staff and crew to suspend production on the show beginning Monday, March 16. We will continue to monitor this and hope to be back on the air with new shows Monday, March 30,” the network said in a statement Friday. CBS’ Late Show with Stephen Colbert is joining its NBC late-night counterparts in suspending production. “The Late Show has postponed production on the three original episodes scheduled for next week, which lead into a previously scheduled hiatus,” the network said in a statement. “We will continue to monitor the situation closely with plans to return on Monday, March 30.” With state of emergency declared in New York over the coronavirus pandemic, New York-based shows have started to suspend production. That includes NBC’s late-night programs The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers, and syndicated daytime talker The Wendy Williams Show. All three had previously announced that they would film with no studio audience over coronavirus concerns. NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will tape an original episode today, March 12, without an audience. Late Night with Seth Meyers will not tape an episode today and an encore episode will air. Instead, a new “Closer Look” will be posted as a digital exclusive. You can watch it below. In it, Meyers addresses the show shutting down. Beginning tomorrow, The Tonight Show and Late Night will pause production through their previously planned hiatus, which was scheduled for the week of March 23. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...233517260.html |

^That's a good question.
I wonder, if they had to scuttle a season for some catastrophic reason, if they would pay out some kind of stipend to all of the racers, or divide the million dollar prize among the remaining teams. |

If pilot season ends up being a complete bust this year, then it wouldn't be too surprising to see very few further cancelations other than what has already been canceled/ended (ie. Hawaii Five-0, Madam Secretary, Criminal Minds, The Good Place, Modern Family, etc ...). |

If a show has a 22 to 23 episode order, chances are they will only be short 2 or 3 episodes since we're so close to the end of the season. Cable on the other hand might be different. Cable seasons are short and if a show only finishes 6 or 7 of a 10-13 episode order, there might be a problem. A lot of cable shows that would air in the summer have currently shut down Fall 2020 will be impacted if this doesn't die down by late June or July. |

SWAT shuts down production today. They will likely not be able to complete the season finale in time for it's air date. |

They could stop making new television shows now and it would still take me years to watch through all the shows I want to catch up on.

Re: Coronavirus news -- TV edition
SNL shuts down, as expected
Saturday Night Live is going dark amid the coronavirus outbreak. NBC sketch series is shutting down for three weeks, according to a source with knowledge of the news. NBC did not immediately respond to request for comment. SNL had been set to return on March 28 with John Krasinski as the host and Dua Lipa as the musical guest. Like other films that had been slated for a release soon, Krasinski's movie A Quiet Place Part II was already pushed back until later this year. Of course, SNL films in front of a live studio audience, and many other shows that do so (like Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and many late night shows) have already suspended filming. SNL is 16 episodes into its 21-episode season and it's currently unclear whether the comedy series will pick back up for those final episodes. |
Re: Coronavirus news -- TV edition
I was looking forward to all the hilarious "quiet place" jokes they'd be making with no audience.

Re: Coronavirus news -- TV edition
I wish they could do SNL if front of a empty audience and see how many times they would break.
Maybe they could do shows around the political conventions if this shutdown lasts for a while. |
Re: Coronavirus news -- TV edition
We'll know we're in the clear when SNL does a version of this sketch again:

Also bummed about SNL etc; humor helps right now. Guess it’s time to stream classic ‘70s TV instead. I could go for some Courtship of Eddie’s Father ... |
