Filming for series two of Netflix hit Bridgerton has reportedly been halted after a crew member 'tested positive for Covid'.
Production on the show is said to have immediately ground to a halt, with all cast and crew tested while bosses staged a crisis meeting to determine when it is safe to continue work.
The case is said to have worried Netflix bosses who are about to start work on another one of their grand productions, The Crown.
'It's a logistical nightmare': Bridgerton series two filming has been 'halted after a crew member tested positive for Covid' (pictured: show star Phoebe Dyvenor as Daphne Bridgerton)
A TV insider told The Sun that the vast cast and crew needed for the period dramas has caused 'a logistical nightmare in terms of trying to keep staff safe, prevent an outbreak or contain one when it's been identified.
'It's also a headache for producers because removing cast or crew and putting them into isolation means they have to be replaced at short notice, and that's not always possible.
'Netflix have gone to great lengths to ensure all the relevant measures are in place on Bridgerton... That doesn't bode well for filming of The Crown.'
