The Hollywood Reporter

"Less than a day after network TLC said on March 27 that My 600-Lb. Life had shut down production amid the coronavirus outbreak, show crews kept up work in the field over this past weekend," reports The Hollywood Reporter's Katie Kilkenny. "The medical drama nonfiction program and its spinoff Where Are They Now? was on location in at least two states — Louisiana and Mississippi — on March 28 and 29, The Hollywood Reporter has learned from multiple sources and documents obtained." TLC said last Friday that it had halted production after complaints that the reality show was filming last week amid social distancing guidelines.
