Production on TV Shows on COVID Pause: Grey’s, NCIS, General Hospital, More to Come As the ‘Cron Eats Hollywood

Share

Here we go again.

Television production is starting to pause because of the Omicron scare. COVID is wreaking havoc on schedules everywhere.

Shows on pause right now include “Grey’s Anatomy,” “NCIS,” “General Hospital,” “Station 19,” “The Rookie,” “NCIS Los Angeles.”

Some were on holiday hiatus and hope to return to work next week. Some will go back in February. For the soaps, which took several months off in 2020, COVID is particularly dicey. As we know, two long time “General Hospital” cast members were let go because they wouldn’t get vaccinated.

Everyone must be vaccinated to work on a TV show!  From the stars through the cast and the whole crew. No exceptions.
