Netflix becomes the first Hollywood studio to mandate vaccinations for the casts of all U.S. productions

Deadline

The vaccination mandate applies to everybody who works in each show's "Zone A," consisting of the actors and those who come in close proximity to them. "Some productions, like the Starz/UCP series Gaslit, have adopted the mandatory vaccination policy. Netflix is making it standard across the board in the U.S.," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "I hear the streamer aims to keep exceptions very rare, including for medical, religious or age reasons, and possibly in a few cases for series and films that are already in production."
