The entertainment industry is taking a massive hit, like many of us, due to the coronavirus.

Even though many of us will be increasing the amount of TV and movies we watch, the entertainment industry is still making changes to their movie release schedule.

According to Entertainment Weekly,Netflix has halted production on all movies and shows due to the coronavirus.

These shows include "Grace and Frankie," and Netflix hit "Stranger Things."

Also, many blockbuster films are delaying their release date, even though many of these films are already made.

Some of these movies include "Fast and Furious F9," "A Quiet Place Part II," and "No Time to Die."

The ninth installment of Fast and Furious was set to be released on May 22. However, due to the coronavirus, that date has been pushed back to April 2, 2021.

"A Quiet Place Part II" was set to roll out in North American on Friday, however, Director John Krasinski told his Instagram followers that now just isn't the time for its release. He has not given a new date for the film.

The newest James Bond Film, "No Time to Die," was set to release on April 2, however that date has now been pushed to Nov. 25.

Additionally, many Disney films are also being pushed. This includes "Mulan," "Black Widow," and Marvel's "New Mutants."

Movies are not the only thing seeing a halt, however. Many shows have halted production.

This includes ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Bachelorette", NBC's "Chicago Fire," "Chicago PD," and "Chicago Med", and the CW's "Riverdale."

Most talk shows are also taking a hit by stopping production.

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," along with "Late Night With Seth Myers," has halted production. Other talk shows are just eliminating their live audience. This includes "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "The Late Late Show with James Corden," and "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
