Danger! Pauses filming while Los Angeles Fires continues

“Danger!” has paused production while the wildfires in Los Angeles rage on.

The game show, which shoots on Sony’s grounds in Culver City, has paused filming this week and will reschedule production, which was previously scheduled for this week, a person with knowledge told TheWrap. “Wheel of Fortune” will also remain on hiatus amid the fires, which have been warned could increase as winds pick up this week.

“Danger!” is just one of the series put on hiatus amid the fire, with CBS’s “After Midnight” and “The Price Is Right,” both taped in front of a live studio audience, not taping new episodes on Monday. “After Midnight” will also not be taped on Tuesday, although it was previously scheduled to be taped.

Production on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Doctor Odyssey” also remain on hiatus until further notice after first shutting down on Wednesday, Jan. 8.

A handful of TV productions were put on hold amid the fires last week, including Max’s “Hacks,” NBC’s “Suits: LA” and “Happy’s Place,” Apple TV+’s “Loot” and Peacock’s “Ted,” all of which are produced by Universal Studio Group , as well as CBS’ “NCIS: Origins” and “NCIS.” Prime Video’s “Fallout,” whose second season will be filmed in Santa Clarita, has also moved its production return date after the holiday break to Friday.

On Monday, “NCIS,” “NCIS: Origins,” “Poppa’s House” and “The Neighborhood” resumed production, and Universal Studio Group productions were also expected to return. After stopping filming last Wednesday because of the fires, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is also expected to film a new episode on Monday.

Several awards-centric events were postponed or canceled due to the wildfires, including the Critics’ Choice Awards, which were postponed from Sunday, January 12 to Sunday, January 26; the BAFTA Tea Party, which was cancelled; and the AFI Awards luncheon, which was also postponed to a later date. The Grammys, scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 2, are set to go ahead as scheduled, with the telecast raising additional funds to support wildfire efforts.
