The deadly coronavirus has officially been declared as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). It was only a matter of time before world governments would start taking the deadly disease more seriously. As a result, many worldwide events have to be canceled or postponed until the situation is under control.
This also meant that some of the popular TV shows, films and theatre productions had to be postponed. Here is a list of popular shows and films that have been shut down or delayed.
Let’s start with TV series…
The Morning Show – The studio behind the exciting new Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon series announced that season 2 of the show will go on a two-week hiatus with immediate effect.
Riverdale – The series was in the process of shooting its fourth season in Vancouver until Warner Bros. halted the CW show. This was due to the fact that a member of the production team came into contact with someone who tested positive for the deadly coronavirus.
Survivor – CBS made the decision to delay production on season 41 of the reality competition series, which was set to begin filming later this month in Fiji.
