You hear a lot about Hollywood beeing in trouble these days, lots of shows have halted production. I haven´t heard anything about Trek beeing impacted though. Picard 2 is supposed to start filming in may I think...they might delay that by a few months ( I would...their star is in the "risk demographic").
Corona Impact On Shows
- Thread starter FreddyE
- Start date
Section 31 will also be delayed since it's scheduled to begin shooting in May.
There hasn't been anything for Trek to be impacted by yet. Disco finished filming at the end of February, so they're in the clear. Section 31, as mentioned will likely face a delay. Otherwise, the virus shouldn't have much of an impact on Star Trek in general.
Post-production may be impacted, and post-production on Trek is extensive.
Although they may be merrily working from home, I don't know.
I think it will depend solely on how long this is considered a global pandemic. With other productions and entire studios still shutting down left and right, we could still be very early in this mess and a two-month shutdown could be optimistic, or even wishful thinking. I really hope that this won't impact Trek too badly, but I'm also prepared for the worst-case scenario of a disruption of a year or more.
Oh yeah, absolutely. The Canada US border is shut down by this weekend, so there is no way for American and other none Canadian cast to get here to shoot it for one thing.
One thing that can continue, the writers room, abit remotely.
Jonathan Frakes posted on Instagram a few days ago that work was cancelled and he was heading home. He didn't specify what he was doing that was cancelled though.
They aren't shooting Section 31 yet are they?
No, that show was planned to start shooting in May. Discovery season 4 was planned to start in July, but I don't know if the pregnancy of its lead will impact the schedule.
Picard season 2 was meant to start in March, according to Stewart. Haven't heard anything about that one.
