Monica Raymund recalls directing FBI's Chicago P.D. crossover episode "as the sh*t hit the fan" with coronavirus shutdown

Deadline

The Chicago Fire alum never imagined she would be directing what would become FBI's season finale due to the coronavirus shutdown. “Me and the rest of the world have been curtailed by this virus,” she said, who had directed only two episodes before Episode 19. “Right as the sh*t hit the fan, I had just got back to L.A. after directing (the episode) in New York. I was in post the first day, right as everything was starting to go down. By the end of the second day of post-production, that was when everything was starting to shut down. I didn’t go into post because I had to stay inside; a few of the editors were older and I don’t know their pre-existing health conditions, so I needed to stay home and worked remotely with my editor to finish the episode that way.”
