Waiting for the coronavirus emergency to pass, even US TV productions, from networks to platforms, choose to stop the sets and close the theaters. Stops are coming for live programs such as the talk shows of Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert or, among others, American Idol, America's Got Talent and Saturday Night live and the shooting of dozens of series have been blocked : alt which for now are generally established in two or three weeks.

We will have to wait longer than expected before seeing the television adaptations of Lord of The Rings (Amazon Prime, who spent only $ 250 million for the rights of the Tolkien saga) and the dystopian Snowpiercer (Tnt), from the film directed in 2013 by Oscar winner Bong Joon Ho and the original graphic novel, Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette.

"We should close everything until we understand what this virus can do," Richard Shepard, producer and director of the new chapter of American Crime Story, the anthological series created by Ryan Murphy, explained to the Los Angeles Times.

With the blockade on production, there are people who "for an indefinite period will not receive a pay - adds the actress and activist -. So many people in the country live from one salary to another". For television director Jesse Peretz (Orange is the new black, Glow), cast and crew members are equally concerned about the medical emergency and the risk of not earning anything for a long time: "I don't know what the answers - he explains to the LA Times - but among Netflix, Amazon, Warner Bros, Fox I am quite sure that they have the financial resources to pay people and face six weeks of delay in production. I think it is a moral imperative that they take their responsibilities ".
