‘Chicago PD’ After positive covid tests, production is halted

EXCLUSIVE: Filming on Season 9 of the NBC dramaChicago PDAfter a series of positive Covid testing, including those in Zone A which include the cast, has been suspended, I learned.

Chicago PD from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, was among a number of series — including the Chicago franchise — that resumed production after the holiday break as scheduled amid a surge in Covid infections nationwide fueled by the highly contagious Omicron variant.

I hear there have been a couple of dozen cumulative positive tests on the show since — with cast members among those impacted — which were detected through NBCU’s extensive testing protocols. Production continued for a few more days, with replacement crew members and an adjusted filming schedule (as positive crew and cast were isolated per Covid guidelines), until shooting was stopped today.
