Well, this is one of those weeks when TV news seems like the least important thing, but maybe you need a distraction while you’re observing social distancing, so here we are! Please stay home and stay well! The big TV news of the week, of course, is that production on pretty much everything has shut down for the time being due to COVID-19. So far, the shows I’ve seen specifically say this will shorten their current seasons are Superstore and The Neighborhood, but we’ll probably have more news on what other shows will be impacted in number of episodes (vs. just filming delayed) next week. Here’s what else is going on:
Premiere dates:
May 10th: The Undoing
Renewed:
Lost in Space (for a third and final season), Station 19

Other headlines:
The Hawaii Five-0 series finale will now be split over two weeks.
Legacies will have a musical episode.
Sarah Phelps will write the second season of A Very English Scandal.
