A Disney Television Studios spokesman tells CNN that production on "Grey's Anatomy" and "Genius: Aretha," both of which are produced by the studio, will be postponed for at least three weeks as a precautionary measure. ABC Television also announced Friday that "Jimmy Kimmel Live" will halt production starting with its Monday, March 16 show. An ABC Entertainment spokesperson said the "hope" was that the late-night show, which is based in Los Angeles, would return with new episodes on Monday, March 30. The network's long-running soap opera, "General Hospital," will also suspend production through Friday, April 10. The network does not anticipate "an interruption in the broadcast of original episodes," according to a statement. "Genius: Aretha," which films in Atlanta, is a National Geographic series starring Cynthia Erivo and is set to premiere in May. "Grey's Anatomy," a production based in Los Angeles, is currently airing its 16th season on ABC. Productions on 16 of the studio's pilots will also be postponed for three weeks. Those include: "Adopted," "The Big Leap," "The Big Sky," "The Brides," "Harlem's Kitchen," "Home Economics," "Kids Matter Now," "My Village," "Ordinary Joe," "Prospect," "Rebel," "Valley Trash," "Work Wife," "Wreckage," an untitled project from writers Emily Kapnek and Dean Holland and "Thirtysomething" sequel "Thirtysomething(else)." Those productions are based across the US, in cities including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Albuquerque. "Thirtysomething(else)" is based in New Jersey.The spokesman added that a number of currently airing series produced by Disney Television Studios have already wrapped for the season and are therefore unaffected. The postponement of production on these shows is the latest notable effect coronavirus has had on Hollywood. This week, a number of film release dates have been pushed back, including those for "Mulan" and "The New Mutants." Several late-night and daytime television shows that feature live audiences have also suspended that practice in response to the pandemic or put a hold on production all togetherRead More – Source
