It’s end of July. Usually at this time, broadcast TV dramas would be back in production, with comedies also getting started on new seasons. But in summer 2020, disrupted by the devastating effects of the coronavirus pandemic, cameras on fall scripted series have yet to begin rolling.
Somewhat surprisingly, S.W.A.T., which was only moved up from midseason to CBS’ fall schedule two weeks ago to replace Survivor, could be the first broadcast primetime scripted series to resume production; it is tentatively slated to begin filming Tuesday in Los Angeles. I hear actors and crew have already been tested ahead of the potential shoot. As is the case with any production during the pandemic, the situation is fluid, and the eyed start of production could be pushed, but currently, it looks promising for filming to commence. The Good Doctor is right behind, gearing up to start production by mid-August in Vancouver.
