The scary parallel between the zombie subgenre and the Coronavirus comes full circle with news that AMC is shutting down production on “Fear the Walking Dead” and delaying the 11th season of “The Walking Dead”.

Deadline reports the news, noting that “Fear the Walking Dead” is currently in production and already set for a hiatus next week. The Colman Domingo-starring spinoff will halt for another three weeks in the abundance of caution that has spread across the whole small-screen industry over the past 48 hours.

AMC is aiming to pick up around the week of April 13.

In addition, pre-production on Season 11 of the Georgia-filmed “The Walking Dead” will also get pushed in the name of health safety, adds the site. AMC says “TWD” will give actual physical production on the show a shove of about three to four weeks down the calendar. The writers’ room on the Angela Kang-showrun series will remain open, with scribes working remotely on the upcoming season.

Coronavirus also forced Netflix to suspend production on “Stranger Things”.

In the meantime, AMC is hoping to breathe new life into the world of “The Walking Dead” with spinoff series “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” this year, centered on two young female protagonists and telling the story of the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse.

The 10-episode first season of the series will premiere Sunday, April 12, 2020, at 10pm EST. Subsequent episodes will then air Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. EST.

The slasher-themed relaunch of “Pretty Little Liars” continues this coming May with “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School,” and you can slash into the official trailer down below.

“Summer School” begins on Max on May 9, 2024.

The Max Original series from Warner Bros. Television debuts with two episodes on Thursday, May 9, we’ve learned, followed by one new episode weekly through June 20 on Max.

Following the harrowing events of “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” our Pretty Little Liars face a fate worse than death – summer school. However, Millwood High isn’t the only thing getting in the way of their fun summer jobs and new, dreamy love interests.

A new villain, who may or may not have a connection to A, has come to town and is going to put them all to the test.

Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco return as the next generation of Pretty Little Liars.

The series also stars Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Alex Aiono, Jordan Gonzalez, and Elias Kacavas.

The series is created, written, and executive produced by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (“Riverdale,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) and Lindsay Calhoon Bring (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”). Aguirre-Sacasa’s Muckle Man Productions and Alloy Entertainment produce, in association with Warner Bros. Television.
