Every Netflix Production Halted Due to Coronavirus

The Coronavirus is slowly spreading across the world causing havoc to the world economy and perhaps more pertinently to us, Netflix’s production schedule. Here we’ll be looking at all the productions currently confirmed to be delayed due to the outbreak.

Below, we’ll be keeping an eye on all the productions that have stalled, are set to continue or anything else news related to the virus.

Netflix Shows/Movies Currently Halted

Last updated: 03/16/2020

The Witcher (Season 2)

Thanks to our friends at Redanian Intelligence we got word on March 16th that production on The Witcher had officially shut down. The series isn’t due to return to Netflix until at least 2021 but whether this will have a material impact on its release date is yet to be seen.

Filming for The Witcher is predominantly taking place in Europe.

Russian Doll (Season 2)

The second season of Russian Doll was due to get underway at the end of this month but has currently been paused.

The filming is scheduled to take place in New York City which is one of the worst affected states as of the time of publishing.

Red Notice

Red Notice was suspended and that’s even after the movie had a late start due to some personal family issues for Dwayne Johnson.

On the suspension, Dwayne Johnson addressed the crew in a heartfelt video that was subsequently posted to his social media accounts.

Here’s a list of the other confirmed Netflix productions currently halted because of the Coronavirus:

• Clickbait (Movie) – Filming in Melbourne, Australia
• Grace & Frankie (Season 7)
• Halston (Limited Series)

Netflix has officially shut down production on all of its U.S./Canada based TV and movies due to coronavirus. This includes Ryan Murphy’s “Halston.” #Halston pic.twitter.com/4RfgoixyYj
