Every Netflix Production Halted Due to Coronavirus

The Coronavirus is slowly spreading across the world, causing havoc to the world economy. It is causing disruption for businesses and organisations everywhere, including and (perhaps most pertinently to us) Netflix’s production schedule. Here we’ll be looking at all the productions currently confirmed as 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: 04/09/2020

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.

Stranger Things (Season 4)

Filming for the fourth season of Stranger Things was scheduled to take place in various locations such as New Mexico, Atlanta, and Lithuania.

Fans will be saddened to learn that the fourth season of Stranger Things was meant to arrive on Netflix in “early 2021” according to actor David Harbour.

What this likely means now is the fourth season will be arriving in the Spring or Summer of 2021, depending on when production can continue.

Thanks to the delay in production, this has lead to speculation that a rewrite of the script could see a time-skip all the way to the 90s.
