While television scripted shows in Canada and Los Angeles are back filming, it has taken a little longer for NYC shows to be given the go-ahead. That is because the city was hit very hard by the COVID-19. New York based Law & Order: SVU sadly suffered the loss of one of their crew members, Josh Wallwork, to coronavirus back in March.
Yesterday, Ice T revealed that he got the first script for season 22, and said that he is expecting to go back to work in mid-September. As excited as he is about it, he added, “Should be interesting with all the new safety protocols.”
It will also be interesting to see if they will be filming inside more this season as compared to the past. SVU defintely used the city as its backdrop in almost every episode. I hope they can still do it because NYC desperately needs the money to make up for all of its lossese of Broadway and tourism.
