■ Joanna Johnson (ex-caroline, B&B, l.), co-creator of THE FOSTERS and its spin-off, GOOD TROUBLE, will produce a new scripted series: LOVE IN THE TIME OF CORONA for Freeform. The four-part romantic comedy explores the search for love, sex and connection during this time of social distancing, and will be filmed using remote technology while using homes of the talent as the backdrop to the stories .... The premiere of FOX’S latest entry into the prime-time soap game, FILTHY RICH, was pushed to fall. The reason for the move is part of an effort by the broadcast networks to stockpile original content for next season, since the coronaviru­s halted all Hollywood production for the foreseeabl­e future. The Kim Cattrall-headed sudser was originally intended to be a mid-season replacemen­t .... The anthology series TELL ME A STORY has been canceled by CBS All Access after two seasons, but the series will air in its entirety on The CW in the fall to fill in gaps in the network’s schedule due to Hollywood’s coronaviru­s shutdown. The series will remain available to stream on CBS All Access. The cast included soap alums Paul Wesley (ex-max, GUIDING LIGHT) and Billy Magnussen (ex-casey, AS THE WORLD TURNS) .... ALL RISE, starring Wilson Bethel (exryder, Y&R) and Marg Helgenberg­er (ex-siobhan, RYAN’S HOPE), has been picked up for a second season.
