The Price is Right returns to production today with no audience and a redesigned social-distanced set

Deadline

The CBS game show will resume filming today at Television City in Los Angeles without an audience, but with all 77 games available. “We quickly realized we were not going to be able to have 300 people on the show sitting close together,” says showrunner Evelyn Warfel. “We decided that we were going to come back without an audience to maintain the safety as best we could for our talent, for the contestants, for our staff and crew...That was the hardest part of all of this; the audience is such a core part of that show, and so, for the first time in 48 years we’ve had to look at it and go okay, we’re bringing the show back and it’s going to be different and we have to hope and know that everyone understands what’s going on and how serious it is and that we want to bring back this show for everyone, but it has to look different. If we want to come back, we have to do it safely.”
