The coronavirus crisis continues to wreak havoc in Hollywood productions.
NBC’s acclaimed “This Is Us” has been forced back into hiatus due to “COVID-related production delays.”
The family drama, which was forced to scrap Tuesday night’s episode, won’t return until Feb. 2, according the NBC website.
“No new episode of #ThisIsUs tonight - Covid-related production delays in LA have forced us to delay a few weeks,” series creator Dan Fogelman also tweeted on Tuesday.
“But the next few are big ones, and we are close, so we hope you’ll hang in there with us. Sorry!” he continued.
Like most television shows, “This Is Us” — which stars Emmy Award winner Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia — saw its season five premiere delayed until Oct. 27 due to the virus, aired four episodes before going on a seven-week hiatus.
New episodes aired Jan. 5 and Jan. 12.
