Hollywood is bracing for a film and TV production logjam when the coronavirus crisis ends

The Hollywood Reporter

"A growing queue of film and TV projects awaits now-empty soundstages as productions that couldn’t wrap filming before the mid-March shutdown may be prioritized," reports Bryn Elise Sandberg, adding: "While most lots sit empty for the foreseeable future, the question atop industry insiders’ minds is how the executives in charge of them plan to handle a production logjam that’s likely to await them on the other side of this crisis. Dozens of films and TV series that had to pack up mid-shoot are expected to compete with previously scheduled projects for limited studio space at a time when production was already at all-time highs — not to mention the scripts writers have been able to safely churn out during the quarantine, only adding to the number of projects that will be ready to jump into production. Notes one insider, 'There’s going to be so much jockeying.'"
