During Wednesday’s film and television industry Zoom roundtable with Governor Gavin Newsom, “This Is Us” actor Jon Huertas said that after talking to show creator Dan Fogelman, the NBC drama may not return to production until January 2021 in case of a second wave of COVID-19.
People ran with this return date which made Huertas jump on social media to clarify his comments. He wrote on Instagram: “#dontbelievethehype @nbcthisisus is prepping to begin shooting this fall!
Our writers are already working and the only reason we’d delay until January is if a bad 2nd wave of #covid19 were to hit hard … safety of our cast & crew is very important to us.
