No surprise, really. COVID extends holiday hiatus for LA TV productions
- Thread starter joebtsflk1
- Start date
It's absolutely the right decision. Although considering the COVID situation in LA county, I'm shocked the county is merely requesting a halt in production instead of outright banning it (a la Santa Clara County in the Bay Area).
Not Shocking but expected given surge of COVID-19 cases and Vaccine roll out plus California responding to a new variant of SARS-CoV-2.
Depends on how long this goes. At some point, they have to deliver new shows. They don't have to do them in California. There will be other states that will try to lure them there. Production of these TV shows isn't driving up the Covid cases. That's happening in the general public. Shows like Saturday Night Live and The Voice are following all the protocols and getting new shows produced.
AFAIK, the border with Canada is still closed, and Americans aren't welcome there. Canada has control over Covid, and they believe the closed border is why. This is also causing a problem for the NHL, which starts its 2021 season in a couple of weeks.

Atlanta or New York possibly but that would have to wait after the vaccination rate increases to a sustained level.
