The coronavirus has effected Hollywood in a big way; leading to blockbuster films halting production, to television shows going into self-quarantine.
Fast & Furious 9 moved its release date, as did the new James Bond flick; plus the entire cast of Stranger Things have recently gone in to lockdown.
Fortunately, there’s still a whole host of exciting new shots and returning series that are ready to go. No doubt they will make self-quarantine a little bit easier.
You can see some of our favourites below:
