Hiatus (production)
The holiday production hiatus, or "hiatus", is a common practice in Los Angeles, California, British Columbia,[1] and other places that regularly produce television and movie content. This is concurrent with the hiatus in programming between halves of a regular television season, winter break for schools, and the peak of the Christmas and holiday season. During the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, the hiatus was extended, at least in Los Angeles, to accommodate a surge in infections.[2][3] Hiatus may also start earlier, to accommodate writing and casting issues and needs.[4]
