Chicago Fire, FBI, and Law & Order: SVU are just some of the series under the Dick Wolf label that have put a halt to their production due to concerns over the coronavirus. The shows were nearing wrap dates for their current seasons, but it looks like they will not start production again til next fall, per a Deadline report.
Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD all film in Chicago, and that city did have the first case of a TV staffer contracting the illness.
NBC said the following about the decision to shut down production on their programming in a statement:
“The safety and health of our cast, crew and employees is our top priority. Where possible, we are pausing production for two weeks as a precautionary measure, following which we will reassess and determine an appropriate start date. In some cases, we are accelerating plans to wrap up physical production.”
All three Chicago shows and Law & Order: SVU were all recently renewed for three more seasons. New Amsterdam, another series impacted by the production shut down, was also renewed for three seasons earlier this year.
What do you think? Are you surprised that the Dick Wolf family of shows have stopped production for the season? Is it a smart move by NBC Universal?
Maybe it’s best to cancel the rest of the seaaon and be safe about it all. Then come back for the next season and just do a few extra episodes in good faith to all.
I understand about the shut down of all my Dick Wolfe shows. I hope that once this crisis is over that all shows will be able to resume productions. I enjoy all these shows and would very much like shows to continue showing. In the past a lot of great enjoyable shows has been cancelled. I just hope these will continue once this state of emergency has been lifted so I can get back to enjoying what I like. Thank you
Lamentável que a CBS tenha cancelado hawaii-five 0 deveria ter seguido o exemplo da Nbc que renovou seus shows por três temporadas agradando seus fãs.
The fans of hawaii-five 0 and Steve Mcgarret are very sad and desperate and desapoint with The CBS.
I just wanted to say I enjoy all the shows that have been out on hold Please start chomage and SVU back up this year please I look for word in watching my favorite shows
I think those actors have a right to protect their health as well as anyone else.
As much as I love all of the shows I agree with protecting everyone’s health. Hopefully we will all get through this safely.
Safety comes first and I am sure that they all will like to be with they Family. I just hope that we will get out of this one.. God Bless you All… I Love my Shows stay Healthy and God Bless
I think it shows responsible action. We will always b back when this is over.
I feel as though u should also continue Blue Bloods. I donot know anybody that does not enjoy this show along with Chicago shows!! Thank u.
I agree that the safety of the cast and crew is the most important thing right now. I work in the medical field and we’re super overwhelmed right now. So the more healthy people that take the initiative to reduce the spread the better.
I love Chicago fire Chicago med Chicago pd but I understand
Best decision for all concerned.
I pray that all the shows SVU all Chicago are safe God be with you all ❤
You have to think of your actors, they have families to! I will be here waiting, love the shows, my favs.
