Finale episodes for shows like The Walking Dead and Supernatural have been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the number of COVID-19 cases in the US continue to rise, some studios have decided to halt operations so people would self-isolate.

Television network AMC announced on their official Twitter account that post-production for the season 10 finale of The Walking Dead has yet to be completed.

For now, the season will end with the 15th episode while the planned finale will be released as a special episode later in the year.

Supernatural shares a similar situation where filming for the episodes have been completed but post-production work cannot be done.

This was shared by Andrew Dabb, one of the writers of the show, on his Twitter account.

(Clarification: We have filmed through episode 18, however our visual effects and sound departments have closed because of the outbreak. So, right now, the episodes can't be finished. However, have some special treats coming along the way-- to help us all get through this.)

He also assured fans that the series, which is on its 15th and final season, will not be abandoned.

(And yes, we, the CW, and Warner Bros fully intend to return and finish the series. It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when.")

Aside from shows, few Hollywood movies like Mulan and No Time To Die, which are scheduled to hit theaters in March and April respectively, have also been delayed by the COVID-19 situation around the world.
