was far from pleased to announce that production on two his Power spinf series,  and , has been halted due to the rapidly spreading coronavirus pandemic. The network,  after it was understood that New York State, where both shows were being filmed, ficially hosts the largest number cases  coronavirus in the United States. The hiatus became effective on March 13th, with no recommencement date in sight at this time. As one the franchise’s creators and executive producers, Fif was majorly frustrated by the ultimately inevitable move, noting that they were one the only shoots that was still ongoing. Sharing a screenshot the Deadline article that broke the news, he begrudgingly made the unfortunate announcement to his Instagram followers.

“I had to do it we were the last production still working,” he wrote. “F*ck.” While it’s not certain that they were actually the very last ones, the Power teams are certainly following in the footsteps countless other films and television shows that have temporarily pulled the plug.  and plenty films have been pushing their release dates back by several months. While there is no word yet on the status the other two Power spinfs, Power Book IV: Influence and Power Book V: Force, both shows have reportedly not even begun production yet.
