“We’re operating in pods, [meaning] teams of people generally in the same department, and will be working to avoid crossover between them as much as possible. We’re aiming to film scenes outdoors as much as possible. And yes, masks for everyone but the actors in scenes.”
It sounds like everyone is ready to get back to work and the process is underway! We hope Jack Wagner, Eric Krakow, and every member of the cast and crew stay safe during production. As always, we will keep you posted with new developments and updated information as it becomes available.
