All the TV shows and films cancelled or delayed due to coronavirus
31 March 2020, 11:57
The list of TV shows and movies that have shut down production due to coronavirus continues to grow and firm favourites such as James Bond: No Time To Die and Riverdale have unfortunately been cut.
Coronavirus has officially been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation after it has infected 139,000 people (so far), and now it's turning its vicious wrath to what we thought we'd be relying on during quarantine: TV.
Due to cast and crew members coming into contact with infected people, many of our favourite TV shows have suspended production, and a lot of films have pushed back their releases even as far as 2021, to ensure they get the publicity they deserve.

So far, CBS and NBC Universal have said they're halting production on some of their biggest shows (including Riverdale, sorry guys) and repeated in a statement: "At this time, we are evaluating situations on a case-by-case basis, informed by the best information from health experts and government officials."
Major film releases expected this year have also taken the brunt of the illness, with James Bond's latest adventure, No Time To Die pushed back to November, and Disney's live-action remake of Mulan has been rescheduled to an unknown later date, despite the premiere already having gone ahead this week.
Here's the low-down on what we can and can't expect to be watching anytime soon...
