NBC's hit TV series, ‘Chicago PD', ‘Chicago Med', and ‘Chicago Fire' are ramping up production with a start date set for September 2020.
According to Reel Chicago, a few production personnel have reportedly prepared for Coronavirus COVID guidelines before the cast and crew arrive. Production was shut down in March with only a few episodes left from wrapping their seasons due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
The IATSE is “cautiously optimistic” and will return to work on September 21st or 22nd.
Alexander Pissios, President of Cinespace Chicago Film Studios, where the One Chicago shows maintain sets, shared his reaction to the news with Reel Chicago, “We are 100% prepared and thrilled that our One Chicago teams are returning to production.”
