Netflix is the latest media company to suspend film and TV production in the face of an escalating health crisis stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, Deadline reports Friday afternoon.

All scripted TV and films in US and Canada are grounded for the next two weeks, starting Monday, March 16, explains the site. The shutdown is done out of precaution and in compliance with bans on large gatherings, travel and other restrictions by authorities in the U.S. and abroad.

The long list includes Netflix’s flagship series, “Stranger Things”, which has been filming its fourth season — the show’s cast posted a video from a table read last week — and a slew of other shows, including the upcoming “Sex/Life” starring Sarah Shahi.

As for “The Witcher”, the site adds that Netflix’s productions filming outside of North America are being assessed on a case by case basis.

“Chucky” – Official Trailer for This Week’s New Episode Brings Brad Dourif into the White House!

Just two episodes remain in Season 3 of “Chucky,” with the second-to-last episode airing this Wednesday night on USA & SYFY. It’s titled “There Will Be Blood,” and oh yes there will be.

Last week’s episode was absolutely INSANE, with Chucky taking control of the situation room in the White House and attempting to start World War 3. His plan was thwarted, but not before nuking the North Pole. In the wake of launching that missile, Chucky met the true death, his doll body disintegrating into ash like he got Thanos snapped out of existence.

The episode ended with an appearance from Brad Dourif as Charles Lee Ray in his human form, with his spirit now free from the doll and roaming around the haunted White House.

Here’s the official plot synopsis for this week’s episode: “Parapsychologists investigate the disturbances in the White House, while Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) plans her escape.”

“There Will Be Blood” airs Wednesday, April 24 on USA and SYFY. Reversing a new plan they tested out last week, we’re told the episode will be available on Peacock this Thursday.

Watch the trailer below to preview this week’s bloody new episode!
