‘Young Sheldon’ pauses production after positive Covid-19 test
TV series Young Sheldon shut down production for the day to ensure cast’s safety.
Popular TV series Young Sheldon halted shooting after a member of production tested positive for Covid-19.
According to Deadline, the unnamed team member was asymptomatic (meaning they did not have visible signs of infection) and is currently being quarantined. However, the CBS sitcom, a spinoff of the hit show The Big Bang Theory, shut down production for the day to ensure the rest of the production team and cast's safety.
It's unclear how long filming on Young Sheldon's fourth season will be paused, but the show's producers are reportedly figuring out when (and maybe if) the series can resume filming at some point next week. Considering how fast the sitcom may return to filming, it's possible that Young Sheldon's production schedule won't be too heavily affected.
